You've been able to *build* multiple kernels: make KERNCONF='GENERIC LINT' buildkernel but you couldn't install the kernels with different names. However, even if you install an SMP and non-SMP kernels with different names, not all kernel modules can be shared -- at least any kernel modules using spinlocks, such as nfs.ko and acpi.ko (and you don't want to compile acpi in the kernel, as some of important fixes in *.patch files are not used). Of course, if you don't mind keeping multiple sets of kernel/modules, you can specify DESTDIR to install them under separate directories. You can use module_path variable in boot loader to point to that directory: set module_path="/smp/;/smp/modules/" Cheers.
