Description Craig Lawson 2004-02-01 18:44:52 UTC

LiveCD: Pentium-4 Version 1.4-20030911 Stage 1.

I booted to the CD and selected the "smp" kernel. After the LiveCD kernel was running, I checked /proc/cpuinfo. It showed that only one CPU was in use.

After completing the install, my system uses both processors.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot to P-4 LiveCD on a Pentium-4 with Hyperthreading enabled in BIOS.
2. cat /proc/cpuinfo


Actual Results:  
Only one CPU is in use.

Expected Results:  
Two CPUs.
