After doing some digging, it appears that the M57SLI board is not
completely supported at this point. It needs a bios which I don't yet
see on Gigabyte's site. See the following msg and replies:

There is some type of workaround using boot parameters, but I didn't get
very far past seeing a comment about Linux not seeing the two cores...
