Hi All:

I'm also having this problem with my smp mobo.  The non-smp kernels work fine, 
only the smp that blows up.  And it's only been since upgrading to FC3.  SMP 
worked okay in FC2.  

I'm testing various settings and recomiling kernels and will report results if 
I get anything figured out.

Tom
