I have the same problem with an Fuijtsu-Siemens RX300 Server. I did a fresh install on it, and booting up with SMP Kernel did hang somewhere were it mounts the local disks. I'm not sure as I didn't dig too deep into it, but I suspect the aacraid driver. Do you also have an Adaptec Raid controller with the aacraid driver?
Maybe you could run you're system with the latest rh9 smp kernel until the problem get's fixed.
I did try the Kernel from Fedora Core 2 Test1 as the machine is currently not in production. The kernel from fc2t1 runs well also in SMP mode, but has a problem with autosensing on broadcom tg3 driver, but the update kernel 2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1smp runs very well. Of course I would not suggest that for an production system.
Sincerly, Klaus Steinberger
