Hmm, it sounds like somehow your kernel is not properly installed.  That file 
should be in the image (at least in the -default kernel).

Run: 'rpm --verify kernel-smp'

I'm assuming that it'll show some errors.  You should re-install the kernel 
via 'rpm -hvu --force kernel-smp-2.6.4-54.i586.rpm' (or similar).

However, there are newer kernels out there; run yast to update your system, or 
go download the lasest one, and upgrade it.  The existing kernel that you're 
running has known security holes in it.  :-(

Hope this helps
