No need to recompile. Add "nosmp" to your kernel command line on bootup.

You can set maxcpu=1 as well, but it will still be an SMP kernel, with the assorted logic which keeps processors from stepping on each other. It will make a small (essentially meaningless) performance improvement on a uniprocessor machine, to quote myself "measurable but not meaningful" in magnitude.

This was important when we ran on 386-16 CPUs with 8MB RAM, it means essentially nothing now, other than he should be able to do it.

Stupid question #1: you did look in grub.conf to see that you are booting the right kernel? That your new kernel is even in grub.conf?
