[gentoo-user] should dual-core Pentium Processor Extreme Edition be recognized as two processors or one?

2007-05-12 Thread Denis
I'm setting up a fresh Gentoo box, which is based on a Pentium Processor Extreme Edition 840 (Smithfield = 2 Prescott cores) mounted on an Intel D955XBK board - it's that expensive dual-core deal with hyperthreading enabled. I am still working on the basic set-up for Gentoo, such as customizing

Crap! I totally forgot that I need ACPI support in the kernel for an SMP system to work the way I expected. I guess I can load my .config file, edit it inside menuconfig, and recompile the kernel. I forgot - do I need to clean out any of the stuff from this kernel before I can recompile it, or
