Yeah, but did you rebuild the base kernel? It sounds like all you
did was rebuild the modules. That isn't sufficient. You are still running
a uniprocessor base kernel.

Do a "make zImage" or "make bzImage" and install the resulting
kernel build appropriately.
If you really want to work with SMP, you might want to consider
going with the 2.2 kernels where SMP support is much more highly advanced.
SMP support is also a config option instead of a makefile build option
in 2.2.x
