No <kernel> directive in software setup.. in 99.99% (just guessing) of
the cases, the installation does the right thing in determining -default
or -smp kernel.  In a few rare cases, -default goes on when it
shouldn't, haven't been able to determine why.

One remote office seeing it happen on a handful of HP xw6400's now,
whereas I've only seen it happen when I've been testing in lab, and
usually same host installs -smp correctly on a rejump.

Logs seem to indicate it's doing the right thing:

Logs show the -smp kernel installing:

Later it installs ok:

Then, for some reason, -default installs too:

I don't see any indication (some incorrect requirement for -default or
something) for why this is triggered.  

FYI.. the 0.13 kernel version listed is simply our custom kernel, which
is just 0.12 with autofs5 patch to autofs4 kernel module, built from the
existing src.rpm.  We bump rev number for visual verification and so
autoyast sees it as newer then the default.  Our updates path has
versions of this built as -default, -smp, -kdump, -debug and -xen like
sles10-sp1 comes with.
