Re: P4 3.06Ghz Hyperthreading with 2.4.20?

[James Wright <james@jigsawdezign.com>]

  I have patched my 2.4.20 kernel with the relevant ACPI patch, and now it suing ACPI
it detects the 2 Logical CPU's BUT it still disables SMP and /proc/cpuinfo only shows one processor... Sorry for the including this but here is a extract "dmesg":
