(I have some troubles with registering on kernel bugzilla, so posting here,
adding people from bug to CC: list)
Hi!
I'm also using P2B-DS and can confirm that starting with kernel 2.6.32
SMP stopped working (and don't work still - tested with current git
v2.6.33-rc5-238-g158c168) The issue seems to have something to do with the
fact that ACPI is blacklisted on P2B-DS. I used to workaround this bug
on newer kernels (>=2.6.32) by passing "acpi=force" in kernel arguments.
Finally, yesterday I found some time to write simple automated bisection
script and leaved it to run on machine overnight. Here's result:

ACPI: check acpi_disabled in acpi_table_parse() and acpi_table_parse_entries()
Allow consumers of the acpi_table_parse()/acpi_table_parse_entries() API
to gracefully handle the acpi_disabled=1 case via return value
rather than checking the global flag themselves.

I re-checked this result and yes - reverting this commit on both 2.6.32 and
current git (v2.6.33-rc5-238-g158c168) makes problem go away.

Which only enforces the "acpi_disabled" check and should have no
logical problem.
And I guess your platform is blacklisted and acpi_disabled is set to 1,
while it still need parse ACPI tables to get SMP info. So I would suggest
to add a "acpi=force" for your case.
Thanks,
Feng

Is there a force ht-only option? acpi=ht doesn't work.

It's actually set to force_ht, so it sounds like some blacklisting is
now stricter than it used to be. However, given that acpi=force seems to
work, how about just doing the following?

ACPI: Remove old blacklist entries
The kernel has a set of blacklist entries that disable ACPI functionality
on various machines. These all seem to date from pre-git days and most
have no indication of what they were meant to fix. Let's work on the
assumption that we've fixed whatever it was that was broken before and so
remove most of the entries.
