Re: hyperthreading on 2.0; no way to get it to work with my hardware.

hi,

here's what I've done since your last comments regarding my little problem.
1) I've first tested this system under Windows XP SP1 Home. Freshly
installed from scratched on a spare HDD -> Result: hyper threading
works like a charm. Checked that HTT was enabled against the Windows
Task Manager and a specialized Intel utility downloaded from their web
site.
2) Then I've compiled and booted the system from a MP_ACPI enabled
NetBSD-current (not a snapshot, plain cvs from a few minutes ago)
kernel without any improvement -compared to the one built with the 2.0
release-. Dmesg output is similar to the one i've already posted (
"cpu0 at mainbus0: apid 0 (boot processor)" and "ioapic0 at mainbus0
apid 1", no second processor enabled by the kernel). Quick & dirty
modus operandi: I've only updated my kernel sources and recompiled the
GENERIC.MP_ACPI without upgrading my tool-chain -lazy me- (cd
/usr/src/sys && cvs update -dP; cd .. && ./build.sh
kernel=GENERIC.MP_ACPI && mv
/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/obj/GENERIC.MP_ACPI/netbsd /; reboot)

Still no luck.

Do I have to submit a bug report?
I'm looking forward to test some fresh ideas (or patches ;)).


cheers everyone,
