I'm still not sure about this. I grepped the kernel source tree, and got one fairly dated reference to hyperthreading. Some on the list suggest I needed the SMP kernel for hyperthreading. The comments in the configuration documentation stated that running SMP on a non-SMP system would be slower than running the non-SMP kernel there. Does anybody have definitive information on this?

I'm running a P4 2.8 here using hyperthreading on a 2.4.25 kernel (one of those vanilla thingies you don't seem to like) and it runs like a charm. First your MB has to support hyperthreading, and second, you have to make sure it is enabled, and then you have to come up with an SMP kernel. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
