Dear gentoo-dev, |

If some of you recall, I wrote to the list about a system halt resulting |
| 4 |
from running C++ codes and it possibly having to do with nVidia graphics |
| 5 |
or XFree 4.2.1. |
| 6 |
|

Well, the problem persists in text mode also. It happens when 3 or more |
| 8 |
CPU-intensive processes run simultaneously on the machine. I have an SMP |
| 9 |
kernel (2.4.19-gentoo-r7) with 2 Intel Xeon 2.2-GHz processors equipped |
| 10 |
with hyperthreading technology. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I have 4 processors initialized at boot time, and 4 processors show up in |
| 13 |
"top". This is probably because of hyperthreading, as otherwise there |
| 14 |
should be only two. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
How do I turn off hyperthreading? Do you think hyperthreading is what's |
| 17 |
breaking my system and it could be more stable without hyperthreading? |
| 18 |
Can a certain process be confined only to a certain processor? |
| 19 |

Thanks for any help! |
