You don't have to re-install. When you are logged in as root, mount
the install media, find the non-SMP kernel, and run rpm -i <kernel
rpm>. This should create a Grub entry for it. Then reboot to the new
kernel, and use rpm or yum to delete the SMP kernel. (It should be
kernel-smp-<version>.) If I understand the way things work, in the
future you should then get the same type of kernel as you have
installed. I didn't look up your laptop, but I am guessing you would
want the kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.i686.rpm. If you have a 64 bit
processor, and are running the 64 bit version, then you are stuck
with the SMP kernel. I do not know much about that, because I am not
running a 64 bit processor.
