You don't have to rebuild to install a kernel of any type. Either run
up2date -i kernel-smp, or if you have the kernel rpm handy, rpm -i
packagename.
In grub.conf make sure the new kernel is listed at the top of the list,
and default=0. Reboot and you will then be using the smp kernel.
This process is the same when installing a new single processor kernel,
the hugemem kernel or smp kernel.

I inherited several RHEL3 systems that only have the single processor
kernel installed (vmlinux-2.4.21-4.EL). We are changing the hardware
configuration. I'm not sure how to install the mp kernel without
completely rebuilding. Any suggestions???
