No you are not the only one to have the problem with the SMP FC1 kernel.

To get stability on the several SMP servers I run, I use FC1 with the
RH9 kernel. These systems run really well. The RH9 kernel is still being
patched for security problems. When that stops, and if the FC1 kernel is
not fixed, I might have to try building the EL kernel from src RPM.

Other than the SMP kernel, I think FC1 is the best linux distro I've ever
used. The package management alone, with rpm and yum, is so good on FC1.
I could not bare to go back to even RH9.
