It should not cause any bigger problems to run a smp-kernel on a single processor-machine, correct me if I am wrong? How do you handle your packages on your machine? Aren't you able to uninstall it with the package-handler, the way you installed it? Anyway the "-U"-option is not the option for uninstall, it's for upgrade. To uninstall its "-e" (for erase), and you have to write the whole package name, including version, to uninstall it. To find our the package-name try a query (option "-q", i.e. "rpm -q kernel") and the results are your installed kernels. Then take the smp-kernel and try "rpm -e <smp-kernel-package-name>".
