Hi, I am using bi-Xeon 2.6 Ghz nodes with 2.4.20 or latest 2.5. I would like to know if it's possible do boot with only one physical cpu and hyperthreading enabled (thus having two logical cpu). I tried to pass maxcpus parameter when booting. maxcpus=1 gives only one logical cpu. maxcpus=2 **seems** to give one logical on each physical cpu. How does the kernel choose which logical cpu it will use when hyperthreading is enabled and maxcpus has been passed ?
