I also recompiled my kernel with config_SMT but it still hangs after boot. I can see my processors as CPU 0 and 1 on my /proc/cpuinfo but it really hangs after a while. I even used SMP kernel... but the result is still the same. Im using fedora core 2 with 2.4.6 kernel. I have no choice but to disable its hyperthreading technology on my BIOS pero sayang naman kung di gamitin di ba? Im suspecting it's a kernel bug anyways...
