Fernando,

Looks like the Release Notes (even the latest) for Cisco VPN says "SMP
kernels are not supported".  I suppose the only way to get a non-smp
(UP) kernel is to recompile from the source.  I have done this before
but with an earlier version of the kernel.  I heard that more recent
version had some issue when rebuilding.

I wonder if you *must* use Cisco VPN ...
