This is a bug in anaconda installing the smp ppc32 kernel as we don't
have a kernel-smp.ppc64 

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=149618

Hit tab at boot: and you should have another kernel option something
like linux-up the ppc64 kernel (which has smp support in it).  Then just
edit yaboot.conf appropriately.
