From my own, and other folks' experience, you probably need to enable MP Spec version 1.4 in your BIOS in order for the SMP kernel to work. (This isn't always the case, but with newer motherboards, it definitely seems to be...) So, go into your BIOS, find the option that lets you change the MP Spec version, and change it to 1.4. Send mail back to the list and let us know whether this fixes your problem..
