What I meant is a kernel without SMP support (it lacks PAE, too, but
that's less relevant).  Description:

 http://packages.debian.org/sid/linux-image-3.1.0-1-486

.configs for the two kernels mentioned:

 http://alioth.debian.org/~jrnieder-guest/temp/config-3.1.0-1-686-pae
 http://alioth.debian.org/~jrnieder-guest/temp/config-3.1.0-1-486

Sorry for the lack of clarity.
