Great to know it will ultimately work, thanks. I'm up to current bios now, and the "SMP mainboard not recognized" has been replaced with "Found 1 CPU" (or something similar). So definitely progress, but still not there yet.
Okay, now that's just odd. You might try booting to the diagnostic partition and running the system through its paces there. After I updated to the most recent bios everything for me 'Just Worked'
BIOS settings look proper, still seeing 4 cores on gentoo-cd, HT is active. Tried acpi=ht again and it locks up before the kernel launches.
Something here just doesn't smell right. Where exactly in the boot/install process does it die? Given that the IBM serveraid support isos boot linux, I'm a little shocked it's not working for you. HT should be disabled (in my opinion) as it's mostly useless. You might try resetting the bios settings to default, in case a tweak there has pushed something over. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
