Just updated to Fedora, won't boot in SMP

Hello all,

I just upgraded to Fedora 1 from RH9.  Everything is working well except
when I try to boot into the SMP kernel.  Right before running the INIT
process the server just hangs.  When I chose the non-smp option, it blows
right by the same spot, and give the standard "Setting INIT level 3"

I am running Dell 2650 Dual XEON 2.8GHz with 2GB RAM and a whole lot of disk
space in RAID5.  I just added the acpi=off variable to the smp kernel line,
thinking that might help.  It didn't.  Neither did upgrading to the lasted
BIOS from DELL.  Any help would be appreciated, I am relatively new at this,
and it has always just worked in the past. 


Running Kernel:
vmlinux-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl
vmlinux-2.4.22-1.2174.nptlsmp



grub.conf:

splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
