You cant use HT features without using an SMP kernel. So when installer 
detects a HT enabled system it installs the SMP kernel by default. Looks 
a pretty sane decision to me. Now if the kernel crashes for you it is 
probably due to some other problem. It would be a good idea to report 
that into bugzilla
