Field Note #1 @Taisto 2011-07-30

Isn't Pentium 4 HT a single-core processor ?
If i remember well, it is, so it's not possible.
If it's in fact a dual core CPU, you may try to boot with the following flag:

cpus=2

Field Note #2 @Unrealized 2011-07-31

Afaik it's not a real dual core processor, It uses hyperthreading to make 2 threads.
