1 Hi Friends,
2 I am having a machine with 2 x Xeon 2.8Ghz w/HT/EM64T.
3
4 I am using the minimal-amd64 iso to boot up and install the machine and
5 it's a sucess.
6
7 But there's a doubt here..
8
9 During the installation stage, the kernel provided with the Minimal CD
10 will actually tell 4 CPU. Correct as Real CPU + HT CPU. But when I
11 booted the machine with my own kernel. It shows only 2. Here's the
12 extraction of config.gz
13
14 # Processor type and features
15 #
16 # CONFIG_MK8 is not set
17 CONFIG_MPSC=y
18 # CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU is not set
19 CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_BYTES=128
20 CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT=7
21 CONFIG_X86_TSC=y
22 CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y
23 # CONFIG_MICROCODE is not set
24 # CONFIG_X86_MSR is not set
25 # CONFIG_X86_CPUID is not set
26 CONFIG_X86_HT=y
27 CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC=y
28 CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y
29 CONFIG_MTRR=y
30 CONFIG_SMP=y
31 CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
32 CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y
33 CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=y
34 # CONFIG_K8_NUMA is not set
35 # CONFIG_NUMA_EMU is not set
36 # CONFIG_NUMA is not set
37 CONFIG_HAVE_DEC_LOCK=y
38 CONFIG_NR_CPUS=4
39 CONFIG_HPET_TIMER=y
40 # CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC is not set
41 # CONFIG_GART_IOMMU is not set
42 CONFIG_DUMMY_IOMMU=y
43 CONFIG_X86_MCE=y
44 CONFIG_X86_MCE_INTEL=y
45 CONFIG_SECCOMP=y
46 CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS=y
47 CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_PROBE=y
48 CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API=y
49
50 I have the same problem before when I try to compile kernel-2.6.12.5 in
51 FC4 with a P4 3.0 w/HT. I also lost the virtual CPU.
52
53 Did the kernel-2.6.12.5 treat HT CPU differently ?
54
55 I hope I can find the answer in the kernel changelog. But it's quite
56 impossible for me right now. Any ideas ?
