Probably just a problem with linuxinfo, which I'd never heard of
before, but installed when cpuinfo was not found and aptitude
suggested linuxinfo provided it. In any event, cat /proc/cpuinfo shows
all the right information.
You can't.. or rather, I can't select SMT support without first
checking SMP support.

Somewhat. All those were pretty much done already. Greg KM's Kernel In
A Nutshell book is quite comprehensive and let me build an initrd-less
kernel in one try. Things are running nicely, but the problem I hoped
to resolve hasn't been. Namely, the lowest frequency my cpu can reach
is 1Ghz... instead of the 800Mhz that it reaches on windows and in the
spec sheets.
Advice on how to proceed from here is greatly appreciated.
Best,
AM
