I had a very similar chip (3.2Ghz only diff) in a laptop. After trying for a long while, I finally figured out that even though the 531 is stated to support HT, that that particular laptop didn't. There was no way I could enable it. (Didn't work with any OS, windows, livecd or whatever). It just wasn't there for me. You may check into that possiblility before wasting too much time tweeking kernel options. -Dennis -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
