If you look into the config files you will see two kernel configuration files: SMP and GENERIC, SMP simply changes the IDENT, sets option SMP and includes GENERIC. Simply build and install your kernel, # make KERNCONF=SMP buildkernel # make KERNCONF=SMP installkernel to get an SMP enabled GENERIC kernel. Cheers, Erik (I assume you're on v. 6.x).
