I have one Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz with motherboard Intel D946GZIS

When the system is booting, it crash checking the ACPI, not even the keyboard
works, it stops with no message.
When I pass the kernel option "acpi=off", it works fine, but found only one
CPU.
I also tried to boot with other Hard drive that already have Fedora 2 with SMP
installed (it is working in other machine with 2 P.III 1GHz processors)
but only boots with "acpi=off".
Did anyone had this same problem? Is there a way to solve this without
"acpi=off"? can it be a motherboard problem?
Almost certainly a motherboard problem -- the ACPI tables are part of
the BIOS, which is held on the motherboard.
Try looking for an update. Or try apci=ht : this is documented to be the
minimum necessary to get a Pentium 4 with hyperthreading to actually
hyperthread, so it might get you running with two cores.
Also try pci=noacpi and acpi=noirq.
Hope this helps,
James.
