Yeah I had this exact same problem on Redhat 6.0. The problem lies in
that if you choose to run the SMP kernel, the header files are still from
the non-smp build. The only way I could come up with to fix this was to
install the kernel by hand, and build it SMP only. That way my header
files, etc, were all for SMP. I can't think of a slick way for either
Redhat or Mandrake to fix this...
