There is magic in the installer which does this detection. 
Possible options are:

  - You do have an SMP capable _chipset_, so it is detected as SMP
    - There are some SMP capable chipsets on motherboards with a single
      CPU socket
  - The auto-detection got it wrong for this newish chipset

Could you send the output of anything relevant to [EMAIL PROTECTED], including
at least:
  - /var/log/messages file, showing the bootup and errors under SMP
  - cat /proc/cpuinfo
  - lspci -vv
