He is already running with SMP, look at this part of his dmesg:

ad10: 343399MB <Seagate ST3360320AS 3.AAM> at ata5-master SATA300
ad12: 343399MB <Seagate ST3360320AS 3.AAM> at ata6-master SATA300
acd0: DVDR <ASUS DRW-2014S1T/1.01> at ata7-master SATA150
SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!
SMP: AP CPU #3 Launched!
SMP: AP CPU #2 Launched!

His problem lies elsewhere I'm afraid...
