SMP <> HT. I'm not an expert on this, but when I went to an Intel conference a couple years ago which discussed hyperthreading, it was made pretty clear it wasn't the same as SMP. But, like I said, I'm not an expert so I don't know what exactly its doing at the very low levels. > Under 5.2.1 it's a different story though: /var/log/messages shows > that there are 2 CPUs but the message indicating the second CPU has > been launched is missing ("/kernel: SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!").

Every dual-cpu machine I've installed SMP kernel on only shows the second CPU launching. > So my primary question is - how do I get SMP running under 5.2.1 with > a hyperthreading-capable P4?? I haven't used 5.x, but in 4.9, there is a specific line in the kernel config for hyperthreading support (to which I've read mixed reviews on this list).
