If you look at the SMP section of the kernel config file, it shows the settings for the number of processors etc. The default of two processors is fine, simply uncomment the SMP option and the APIC I/O option, and you're ready to roll. You don't need to do anything with the i686 option or anything else really. Enabling those two lines will make most dual processor systems work with SMP.
