Previously, this had been caused by
trying to run an SMP kernel on a hyper-threaded cpu.
For some evil reason, the SMP kernel was the default.
Whoever made that decision should be shot.
You cant use HT features without using an SMP kernel. So when installer
detects a HT enabled system it installs the SMP kernel by default. Looks
a pretty sane decision to me. Now if the kernel crashes for you it is
probably due to some other problem. It would be a good idea to report
that into bugzilla
