Hello, I installed fc3 on this 4-cpus machine and
found that it can boot with linux kernel with only one
cpu supported.
However, when I try to boot with SMP kernel, it keeps
rebooting. This machine has 4 cpus and 2 scsi hard
disks. This machine is supposed to support redhat
enterprise 7.2.
I will very appreciate you for any advice or possible
hints.

Yes. Basically, all you need to support multiple
processors is the SMP
support in the Linux kernel. And Fedora comes with
SMP-compiled kernels
available.

Make sure you're using the SMP kernel: type uname -r
and check for the
letters "smp". Or look at /proc/cpuinfo and count the
processors.
