I ran afoul of the bug described in this article, about an SMP kernel being installed on a single-processor machine, and tried to fix it by following the instructions in the article.

I verified with "uname -a" that I now have a non-SMP (k_dflt) kernel installed. My question is, should I be worried that the output from "cat /proc/cpuinfo" still contains the "ht" hyperthreading flag? It does not appear under Red Hat 7.2 . Is hyperthreading supposed to be turned on? If not, how do I disable it?
I have a single Pentium 4, running both SuSE 8.0 and Red Hat 7.2 .
