Mike,
I've already tried acpi=off, apm=off, noapic, and vdso=0, none have had
any effect ...

Ok, followup ...
I've installed from scratch, selecting "server", and allowing all
defaults, both FC3 and FC4T3.
Stock, off the CDs, both fail in SMP mode on my motherboard. After
installing all available upgrades via "yum upgrade", both still fail
... even the much vaunted new 1363 kernel for 4T3.
FC3 simply does the same thing (all IO ceases the second the kernel
inits, so once login arrives it's dead)
FC4T3 sees 3 out of 4 cpus (3 penguins) and instantly reboots.
Anyone got any ideas? I find it absolutely ridiculous that no flavor
of Fedora so far works in smp on my motherboard ... :-( Knoppix
boots right into smp, no problems whatsoever.

I've got a bunch of SMP boxes running FC3 and FC4T3. Not all SMP boxes
are created equal.
I've got a pair of Intel quad P3 Xeon boxes... they work fine, no
special stuff needed.
I've got 4 dual P3-1000 machines (Gigabyte motherboards) These things
suck. Unless you append acpi=off to the kernel boot string, they
randomly reboot, hang, freeze, etc.
And a Compaq DL380, won't run single or dual cpu correctly unless
acpi=off is appended to the boot options.
Try turning off acpi, that seems to fix lots of smp issues for me.
