Depending on your update tool of choice:

up2date -if kernel-unsupported

yum install kernel-unsupported

rpm -i <your favorite mirror>/whiteboxlinux.org/3.0/en/updates\
/i686/kernel-smp-unsupported-<version>.<arch>.rpm

Pet Peeve: John, if you're out there, why have separate dirs for all the
different x86 flavors?

I'm not sure how well they were, but the i2c modules for the kernel are
packaged in the kernel-unsupported RPM because that is how Red Hat chose
to show that they are, well, unsupported.
