I was working on the assumption that the question was if SUSE would detect if
the CPU was SMP or not during the installation and automatically install the
single or SMP-enabled version of the kernel based on that. Since SUSE
doesn't ship 2.6.17 (and, I imagine, only Gentoo does at this point),
assuming that the kernel would detect the CPU type and adapt isn't really an
option.
