I think I've seen some recent talk about this problem. I have an HPAQ xw6000 w/ 2xP4 CPUs. A RH kernel finds both CPUs (4 if I enable HT). A kernel.org kernel only finds 1 (2 if I enable HT). I've been playing with this thing for awhile now, and I am at a loss. I set DEBUG_APIC=1 and captured the attached dmesg's. The configs are identical as far as APIC and SMP goes. Also, ACPI is not set, and I am using CONFIG_M686. Any clues? thanks /fc
