The following have been installed on the system, via kickstart and 
running 'yum -y update' from the post script:

kernel-2.4.21-4.EL
kernel-smp-2.4.21-4.EL
kernel-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL
kernel-smp-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL

These have been added later by yum update.

kernel-2.4.21-20.EL
kernel-smp-2.4.21-20.EL

Removed the first 4 ones, so it's not really clear at which time those 
were added. But it seems I got confused as UP and SMP kernel were 
installed in parallel. I'll double-check the next installed systems and 
come back if there should really be a problem.

Thx for your fast answers and keep the great work!
