Hello, I installed fc3 on this 4-cpus machine and found that it can boot with linux kernel with only one cpu supported. However, when I try to boot with SMP kernel, it keeps rebooting. This machine has 4 cpus and 2 scsi hard disks. This machine is supposed to support redhat enterprise 7.2. I will very appreciate you for any advice or possible hints.

Yes. Basically, all you need to support multiple processors is the SMP support in the Linux kernel. And Fedora comes with SMP-compiled kernels available.
Or how can I get around to use 4 CPUs efficiently?
Make sure you're using the SMP kernel: type uname -r and check for the letters "smp". Or look at /proc/cpuinfo and count the processors.
