I checked the rpms for AS and ES from the redhat network site, and they 
are both
the same file. So there appears to be something else that determines 
the box to
use AS options.

I've opened a ticket with Redhat, and am awaiting the response. Unforunately I
had to do it through the hardware vendor, hp, I have standard support.

The kernel I have upgraded to is;
kernel-smp-2.4.21-37.EL

The links from the packages both go to the same place...
kernel-smp-2.4.21-37.EL.i686   	 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 3 for x86)
https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/packages/details.pxt?pid=327068

kernel-smp-2.4.21-37.EL.i686   	 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 3 for x86)
https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/packages/details.pxt?pid=327068

I noticed that my redhat-release package has been upgraded to the wrong 
version
as well.
[root at sdat0007 boot]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 6)
[root at sdat0007 boot]#
[root at sdat0007 boot]# rpm -qa |grep release
redhat-release-3ES-13.6.2
