Unfortunately there seems to be no way the extra processors can be detected while running a UP kernel. There was an idea a while back to use dmidecode and that would probably work for multiple physical processors, but it was uncertain if it would work for a single multi-core processor. See this thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2006/04/msg00186.html Any idea if the HTT flag being present would be a reliable indication of dual-core? Looks easy enough to implement if we get confirmation. Care to send in the output of dmidecode for your box?
