FreeBSD 6.1-RC #0: Fri Apr 21 23:29:17 CEST 2006
>Description:
FreeBSD recognizes Intel's dual core, low voltage Xeon processors (sossaman) as a single core processor with a virtual CPU. Because hyperthreading is disabled by default, there are no processes scheduled to the extra cores.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=1
but it would be better to not to think this is a HT capable processor. (HT is not available in these, or at least it is disabled)
