Maybe I'm missing something here but, examining the kernel source code
(the configurations are in the spec file), both the single processor and
SMP kernel builds contain the same ext3 support.

What makes you think that this is the problem?

If, in fact, there is something wrong in the configs which I cannot see,
you could easily rebuild the kernel.

Have you filed a Bugzilla?
