You don't need to recompile to get SMP support. We provide a SMP kernel.
The package is kernel-SMP-version-releasemdk.i586.rpm.

Kernels should be in the /boot directory. On some systems, it's the only
way to make sure kernels are actually bootable (/ can be anywhere on the
disk, including in areas the BIOS can't access, and therefore can't boot
from).
If you have a kernel in /, you should mv it to /boot and adapt
/etc/lilo.conf accordingly.

You haven't made a mistake in editing lilo.conf... If you type Ctrl-C when
it "hangs", does it continue? If you run "depmod -a" after it, do you get
an error message?
