had a similar problem with my abit bp6 smp mobo and had to update the bios before the smp kernel would run without hanging in a similar fashion to your box. The kernel.org 2.2.17 kernel compiled for smp would work just fine however. Go figure. In the meantime consider you current bios rev and evaluate whether you want or need to update it. Also anything noted in the log files.
