Better you compile a new set of kernels:

1) First for your clients, decide which modules you need (normally a
   static kernel would do it for the first tests). Make dep clean bzImage
   (modules modules_install only if you think you need them)
   Move the content of /lib/modules/2.2.14 to your client nfs root
   Tag the kernel image (mknbi-linux from etherboot) from
   /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage and copy the tagged kernel to the
   needed location.

2) Save your kernel configuration .config for your terminals

3) Build a new (SMP) kernel for your server (make dep clean bzlilo modules
   modules_install)

Watch your steps carefully and you shouldn't have any more problems with
your different kernels :-))

So long,
