Hi, still not 100% sure, whether I configured the kernel correctlu:

I set (beside other things) these kernel configurations: Processor type and features ---> [*] Symmetric multi-processing support [*] AMD ACPI2Platform devices support [*] Supported processor vendors ---> [*] Support AMD processors [*] SMT (Hyperthreading) scheduler support [*] Multi-core scheduler support Preemption Model (Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop)) ---> [*] Machine Check / overheating reporting [*] AMD MCE features Performance monitoring ---> <*> AMD Processor Power Reporting Mechanism [*] AMD microcode loading support Power management and ACPI options ---> CPU Frequency scaling ---> <*> AMD Opteron/Athlon64 PowerNow! <*> AMD frequency sensitivity feedback powersave bias Device Drivers ---> [*] IOMMU Hardware Support ---> [*] AMD IOMMU support <*> AMD IOMMU Version 2 driver htop shows six cores. Does my CPU hyperthread? Cheers Meino
