Assuming you're upgrading, just put the old kernel RPM somewhere on your hard disk. Then, when the installer is finished but before you reboot, switch to VT2 (Ctrl-Alt-F2), type "chroot /mnt/sysimage" (I think that's the place) which will place you into the installed system as if you had just booted single user. (Or you can boot from the CD in rescue mode and follow the instructions.) Then rpm -ivh the old kernel package, edit /etc/grub.conf to make it the default and reboot. The question does beg itself, though: if the uniprocessor kernel doesn't work for you, how can you even boot the installer? Perhaps a uniprocessor kernel for the i386 will work fine for you. - J<
