Solved it for me.
You will also need to enable Power Management Support (CONFIG_PM, under General Setup) and take a look at Advanced Power Management BIOS support (CONFIG_APM, right after CONFIG_PM) and ACPI Support (CONFIG_ACPI, right after CONFIG_APM). My first reaction to the relevance of SMP was one of skepticism, but right there in the help for CONFIG_APM: "Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for machines with more than one CPU." I'll be darned. -- Batou: Hey, Major... You ever hear of "human rights"? Kusanagi: I understand the concept, but I've never seen it in action. --Ghost in the Shell
