You definitely need APIC for SMP and the APIC is part of the iA32 spec
so I'm sure you have one somewhere.  At a quick guess, I suspect you
haven't enabled the APIC in your BIOS - check for an option that
allows you to select between PIC and APIC interrupt types.

If that's not the problem, we need more information: Motherboard/BIOS
type and at least the beginning of a verbose boot (down to about the
pci0 probe).
