8 I tried adding that and the kernel recognises that I've tried the option
9 but ACPI still won't start up (I even recompiled the kernel and added
10 the processor section under ACPI just in case some code was left out but
11 I get the same results). This is what dmesg shows everytime:

74 So I currently don't know what RSDP is, though I'm hunting around for
75 the definition.
76
77 Any other ideas? Why is this harder than it should be? This processor
78 does actually do HT but I've been unable to manage it :)

80 Help!
