This is the one that works with the "make test".

I think that this is the standard centos SMP (i.e. multi processor) kernel that we got when we installed centos. This is the RPM info:

===========
rpm -q kernel-smp-2.6.9-22.EL -i

Summary     : The Linux kernel compiled for SMP machines.
Description :
This package includes a SMP version of the Linux kernel. It is
required only on machines with two or more CPUs as well as machines with
hyperthreading technology.

Install the kernel-smp package if your machine uses two or more CPUs.

Does that help?

This is the one that does not work with "make test".

No. We are "bad" and only install the version that is current at the install time and then leave it alone.

I understand what you want, but I have absolutely no idea how to achieve it in detail. We don't know how to juggle kernels. Sorry. If you can provide details, we can do it.
