Yes, except that I ended up with a GENERIC uniprocessor kernel after
installation as well.

After compiling with GCC 3.2, the kernel gets a little farther -- it
doesn't panic until I get to "Starting up SMP secondaries" and then it
panics with "die_if_kernel recursion detected". So I'm now doing a
rebuild with 3.0 (jeez I wish I had that second processor -- recompiles
take forever) to see if that works better. If that still panics, I'll
start looking at other kernel versions.
I'm also apt-get'ting kernel-image-2.2.22-smp to see if that works
acceptably.
