Great to know it will ultimately work, thanks. I'm up to current bios 
now, and the "SMP mainboard not recognized" has been replaced with 
"Found 1 CPU" (or something similar). So definitely progress, but still 
not there yet.

BIOS settings look proper, still seeing 4 cores on gentoo-cd, HT is 
active. Tried acpi=ht again and it locks up before the kernel launches.

Me baffled! Thanks for the help so far, getin there.
