The "boot with SMP kernel" option selects the SMP kernel for booting, so  
if you let the menu timeout after that (or hit 1 to boot immediately), it  
will boot SMP instead of UP.

Regarding the keyboard issue, can you try a verbose boot (after having  
selected the SMP kernel, hit 'v' in the menu) and see if it gives more  
messages?
