Hi,
Is it possible to have Hyperthreading enabled in non-SMP systems? According
to LINT the HTT option requires SMP and APIC_IO, but when I include both of
those in my P4 3.06GHz system it panics on startup with:
panic: pmap_bootstrap: no local apic!
mp_lock = 0000000c; cpuid = 0; lapic.id = 00000000
I have hyperthreading enabled in the bios, and when booting with a standard
kernel I get the following:
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.06GHz (3073.65-MHz 686-class CPU)
Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0xf27 Stepping = 7
Features=0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE>
Hyperthreading: 2 logical CPUs
but there's no further messages about enabling both cpus. Does this mean
that HTT is only supported on systems with have multiple (physical) cpus?
thanks,
