After doing some digging, it appears that the M57SLI board is not completely supported at this point. It needs a bios which I don't yet see on Gigabyte's site. See the following msg and replies: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2007-03/msg05024.html There is some type of workaround using boot parameters, but I didn't get very far past seeing a comment about Linux not seeing the two cores...
