You mean the case, you have an SMP system but don't want to run the SMP
kernel? Then improve your decision logic in the script!

if cpu1 exists and uname has smp -> install SMP kernel
if cpu1 exists and uname shows single CPU kernel running -> install
normal kernel

Or install both kernel types (if cpu1 exists) and decide which you make
active in grub based on the info which kernel is running actually.
