OK I upgraded the bios and made sure that everthing that looked like two
processors should be enabled was.

Booting 2.6.12 from knoppix (with no extra flags other than debug) works; i.e.,
I see both 
processors.

Booting 2.6.16.16 hangs unless I put acpi=off, where I don't see the second
processor.  I tried simply booting with noapic and debug, but that hangs too. 
The last line on the screen is:

Total of 2 processors activated (13606.11 BogoMIPS).

I diff'd the dmsgs from the before and after the bios upgrade (with acpi=off and
debug)

diff dmesg /var/log/dmesg

I also diffed the 2.6.16.16 (acpi=off) with knoppix and I've attached that.

One question:  I built the kernel with hyperthreading enabled.  /proc/cpuinfo
says it's there, but this is really a dual core chip.  Is this a problem?
