Description Len Brown 2003-09-29 22:43:23 UTC 
From Marcelo: 
Ive received a few complaints that HT, starting from 2.4.22, needs ACPI 
enabled. Users who had HT working now have to use ACPI and they didnt 
before. 
 
We should have HT working AUTOMATICALLY without ACPI enabled and WITHOUT 
any special boot option, as before.
Comment 1 Len Brown 2003-09-29 22:49:25 UTC 
I've updated 2.4 and 2.6 so that CONFIG_ACPI is not required to enable HT. 
Enough ACPI to enable HT (CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT) is now enabled automatically 
if CONFIG_ACPI or CONFIG_SMP. 
 
This fix has been integrated with others in the ACPI patch, 
and is available now in these bitkeeper trees: 
 
http://linux-acpi.bkbits.net/linux-acpi-test-2.4.22 
http://linux-acpi.bkbits.net/linux-acpi-test-2.4.23 
http://linux-acpi.bkbits.net/linux-acpi-test-2.6.0 
 
It is also available as a plain patch "*-CONFIG_ACPI.patch" here:

Comment 2 Len Brown 2003-10-02 19:20:07 UTC 
fixed in 2.4.23-pre6 and 2.6.0-test6
