Hello,

> Is there any harm to running a SMP kernel on uni processor boxen ? 

  Yes.  You may be a little dissappointed when the machine does not
  boot up ;)

  Better stick with the standard non-smp kernel if you don't want
  to chance it.

  If you're feeling lucky though, try it rebooting with the smp
  kernel.  If it doesn't work, then, on reboot do the following:

  When you see this prompt:

  Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt. 
  Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds... 

  hit any key, then do:

  unload kernel
  load kernel.GENERIC   // or load kernel.old, depends on your situation
  boot -s
