It looks like a different naming convention.

Hugemem is now the PAE kernel (from what I can see)

normal kernel now supports SMP outofthebox

xen is xen

In rhel4 there are a few kernel versions,

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# up2date --showall | grep kernel
kernel-2.6.9-55.EL.i686
kernel-devel-2.6.9-55.EL.i686
kernel-doc-2.6.9-55.EL.noarch
kernel-hugemem-2.6.9-55.EL.i686
kernel-hugemem-devel-2.6.9-55.EL.i686
kernel-ib-1.0-1.i386
kernel-smp-2.6.9-55.EL.i686
kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-55.EL.i686
kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.99.i386
kernel-xenU-2.6.9-55.EL.i686
kernel-xenU-devel-2.6.9-55.EL.i686

normal,smp,hughmem and xenU

in rhel5 there are a few also:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# yum list all | grep kernel
