Ok, my machine boots with SMP working so we need to delve a bit more
into your specific circumstances.
Here is the start of my syslog
KERN: APM version 1.2 available, flags 7.
KERN: smp: using ACPI to detect MP configuration
KERN: smp: local apic address is 0xfee00000
KERN: smp: found local APIC with id 0
KERN: smp: found local APIC with id 1
KERN: smp: found io APIC with id 2 and address 0xfec00000
So ACPI was used to detect 2 processors.
Then once my machine had booted the following System Information was
available from sysinfo

So I successfully booted a 2 cpu machine with a similar CPU type (AMD
64 X2) to yours.
Considering the issues mentioned with the flash drive denying writes.
I would look at the USB controller, what options are in your
motherboard BIOS regarding USB?
