Actually the hugemem kernel is an SMP one too.

Before you decide, please be aware that:

- No additional modules (openafs/xfs/nvidia/r1000/ ...)
  are built in SL for hugemem kernels.

- To my knowledge: not many people using SL use hugemem
   kernels ... (therefore you shall not expect lot of
   support on this list .. most likely)...
