I just installed FC5 on a Pentium 4 based machine and ended up with a

2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp. The problem is that my motherboard, Intel
D865PERL, is a single CPU motherboard and my Intel CPU P4 2.8
pre-dates any dual core technologies. The /proc/cpuinfo did list two
CPU's.
Probably irrelevant but worth mentioning. I installed FC5 on the first
partition of a second hard drive of a dual boot machine and boot off
of a CD.
As a side note, FC5 was installed on 2 Core Duo machines at work. The
first machine has a lame core, confirmed by Redmont, and has a
2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 kernel. The second machine has two functioning cores
and has a 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp kernel. The /proc/cpuinfo of the second
machines lists 2 single core CPUs not 1 dual core CPU.
Sounds like you might have hyperthreading turned on in your bios.
