Problems with hyper-threading on Asus P4T533 / Linux 2.4.20

We've just gotten an Asus P4T533-based machine with a 3.06GHz P4 CPU,
bios version 1005. (P4T533 is i850e-based.) The bios claims that the
P4 has hyper-threading, and as you can see from the cpuinfo output
below, "ht" is among the flags. (And the manual says that P4T533 is
ht-enabled.)

I've tried booting with acpismp=force and without, and it doesn't
seem to make much difference: Linux still only sees a single CPU.
I've also tried 2.4.21-pre4 and -ac4, which doesn't seem to make any
difference, either.

Anybody got any ideas why I can't get this to work?
