where in the boot process does it reboot? If needed setup a serial console.

Perhaps if the kernel has ACPI support it may be barfing on that. I had
a Dual P2-233 with Asus P2L97-DS, had suse 7.3 on it, when I tried to upgrade
to 8.0 it locked up hard on the SMP kernel(UP kernel worked fine as in your
case), I traced it to the ACPI code, recompiled the kernel w/o acpi and
it was fine(trying the various apci options to disable the driver didn't
work for me). Dual 300 is similar enough that the problem may be the
same. Perhaps your board doesn't support ACPI(on mine, I found no traces
of ACPI support in the BIOS, though I can't say for certain if it supported
it or not).

I've never used grub, but there should be info via google or whatever on
how to setup serial console with it.
