Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2006:0144 0 qe-ready SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: Updated kernel packages available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 7 2006-03-15 05:00:00 UTC

Description Sean Dilda 2004-10-25 19:37:13 UTC 
The 'noht' kernel argument does not work on the ia32e platform.  On
32-bit xeons, adding this kernel argument will cause the virtual CPUs
created by hyper-threading to not by used by the kernel.  However,
using this option on an ia32e box seems to have no effect.
