No HT without ACPI?

[Jurgen Kramer]

Hi,

I had to disable ACPI on my system because it caused a high
load. While rebooting I noticed that the second CPU (P4 HT) wasn't
found:

CPU: Trace cache: 12K uops, L1 D cache: 8K
CPU: L2 cache: 512K
CPU: Physical Processor ID: 0
Intel machine check reporting enabled on CPU#0.

Is ACPI necessary for HT to work? This is with 2.4.21.

Cheers,
