Does the latest Linux Kernel support Intel's new HyperThreading

No, if I remember correctly, HT support is just going into the latest development kernel (2.5.x), which means that the current stable kernel (2.4.x) probably doesn't support it yet.
There are 2 level of support.
1)The OS sees the addition logical proccessors. This works with newer 2.4 kernels.
2)The OS is aware which of the logical cpus belong to which proccessors, and try to schedule jobs on different physical cpu where possible. This works with newer 2.5 kernels.
