Yes, because ACPI uses a different table.

Nope.

Configuring it into your kernel, presumably, using make menuconfig.

Nope, all the SMP detection stuff is in the kernel.

There should be some messages about IO APICs right here. To be SMP, you
need IO APICs.

If you did the ACPI cpu enumeration only, please try the full ACPI
support. That is the only reason I can think of (except for !CONFIG_SMP)
as to why the IO APIC(s) could be overlooked.

Don't need acpismp=force, btw. With the patch off sf.net it is on by
default - you can use acpi=off to disable it, though. ;-)

Sorry for the typo. APIC -> ACPI.

You need to apply the ACPI patch: http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi and *configure* APIC. 

The 2.4 kernel depends on the MPS table for all but logical processors. If MPS table is not present, it will fall back to UP.

Thanks,
Jun

Hello,

   I have kernel 2.4.20 with a single P4 3.06Ghz CPU and Asus P4G8X motherboard
(with the Intel E7205) Chipset. I have enabled Hyperthreading in the BIOS options,
compiled in SMP & ACPI support, and also tried adding "acpismp=force" to my lilo
kernel cmdline, but it just doesn't seem to detect the second Logical CPU. My 
current theory is that this is bcos Linux expects the motherboard to be an SMP
item (as with the Xeon boards) but this board is a Single processor board, ansd
doesn't have an MP table, but the cpu info is held in the ACPI tables.?!?

I have tried installing 2.5.65 but can't get past the compile due to compile-time
errors... Is this a known problem? SHall i just disable Hyperthreading until a new
kernel release?


Thanks,
James

Hello,

   I have kernel 2.4.20 with a single P4 3.06Ghz CPU and Asus P4G8X motherboard
(with the Intel E7205) Chipset. I have enabled Hyperthreading in the BIOS options,
compiled in SMP & ACPI support, and also tried adding "acpismp=force" to my lilo
kernel cmdline, but it just doesn't seem to detect the second Logical CPU. My 
current theory is that this is bcos Linux expects the motherboard to be an SMP

I have tried installing 2.5.65 but can't get past the compile due to compile-time
