Description of Problem:
The kernel package includes the following postinstall script:
--
cd /boot
ln -sf vmlinuz-2.4.9-13 vmlinuz
ln -sf System.map-2.4.9-13 System.map
ln -sf module-info-2.4.9-13 module-info
--

The smp kernel includes no such similar script.  Using GRUB to dereference 
the links on the UP kernel provides a worry-free kernel upgrade procedure, 
as long as GRUB is configured to use those links to find the kernel (It's 
not, but that gaffe is not within this scope).  The SMP kernel provides no 
such links, and the user must work around this problem with each install, 
increasing the probability of a serious problem killing a system.  
Moreover, the user must do this with each system upgraded, a repetitive and 
exacting process that's ill-fitted for completion by a human instead of a 
machine.

It's also a 3-second fix, you slacker!  Here's a suggestion:

cd /boot
ln -sf vmlinuz-2.4.9-13smp vmlinuz-smp
ln -sf System.map-2.4.9-13smp System.map-smp
ln -sf module-info-2.4.9-13smp module-info-smp

Here's a patch to the kernel spec:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.9-13

How Reproducible:
Always.  

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install smp kernel with Initial Software Load
2. Upgrade to newer kernel (following 
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/howto/kernel-upgrade but skippng lilo 
section as we're into the bronze age now, using GRUB magic)
3. reboot and stare in amazement until you realize what you did, at which 
time the ritual swearing begins.

Actual Results:
System can no longer find kernel to boot

Expected Results:
system booting happily, normally and healthily.

Additional Information:
Hey!  I already gave ya a nice shiny Diff (you should sanity check that, as 
there was some blind sed magic in there) !  Whaddaya want for nothing?!?  A 
rubber biscuit?!?  	

Oh yeah.  Additionally, the initrd isn't linked.  This is fun for people 
using SCSI modules to boot their system, as it, again, leaves it unbootable 
after a happy kernel package upgrade.  The thing is, with link set up 
correctly, using GRUB to boot the kernel makes kernel upgrades really easy 
and painless.  Without the links, it's, well, pain.
