Howdy. This may be because the APIC table on Compaq isn't configured to be "Full". Run the configuration utility for the box. (You should be able to download a bootable disk image / config utility from Compaq). When the menu appears, press CTRL-A to enter "Advanced Mode". Here a new option for "APIC Full Table Mode" appears. Select this, and try your SMP kernel again.
