You should probably recompile to use them optimally. RH does as broad a kernel as possible to
accomodate as many different configurations as possible. They do have a
copy of the config that they use if you install the kernel source rpm. It
is in /usr/src/linux/configs
There should be a config in there that has smp in its name. You can see
what they compiled and modify as your needs require.
