There is no kernel that is version 2.6.x AND 686 AND smp. The 686-smp
you see is version 2.4.x, which most people don't use anymore. See this
package search:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=smp&searchon=names&subword=1&version=dapper&release=all

Since 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake), the 2.6.x kernels that are compiled for
686 processors are for both uni- and multiprocessors

Again, only for version 2.4.x. Version 2.6.x has uni- and multiprocessor
support rolled into one (just as for the 686 processors), see
http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/base/linux-image-2.6.15-27-k7

There is a amd64-k8 and a amd64-generic. Otherwise I have no idea, maybe
this helps:

See above

I believe (but not sure) that you need the *-server variant for this:
