Is your SMP kernel .config exactly same as your previous UP kernel .config (excluding UP -> SMP change)? Your kernel config appears a little strange since it does not have floppy support enabled at all. Posting your /etc/fstab line and your kernel .config might help. I suggest that you check your kernel .config for missing bits and recompile your kernel and loop-AES module. At least add support for block-major-2 "Floppy disks" and char-major-97 "Parallel port generic ATAPI interface".
