Both SMP and regular kernels - FC 2

Hello,
I have a strange situation.
When I installed FC 2, I had just kernel 2.6.5-1.358. Later, to try and
get the NVIDIA driver working, I downloaded and installed the 8kstacks
version.
When 2.6.6-1.427 came out, yum update downloaded and installed both the
regular and the 427smp kernels. And when 435 came out, the same thing
happened.
Now I didn't worry about it much - I never boot the smp kernel. But I
found that when recompiling the Broadcom driver (tg3 still doesn't work
for me with the Cisco VPN software), it wouldn't work until I had copied
bcm5700.ko into the equivalent kernel/drivers/net directory under the
smp kernel as well.
I have googled on this with no luck.
Anyone have any ideas beyond just starting over from scratch? Did yum
get confused when I had the 8kstack kernel installed? Or is it
something else?
Thanks.
