Hi, I've done some tests, and I think that kernel-image-2.4.*-386 needs apic option ( kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4 does it ).
Computer : bi-xeon with HT. 2.4.18-386 : No Processors: line 2.4.18-686 : Processors: 2, but only one in /proc/cpuinfo 2.4.24-686-smp-thomas4 : Processors: 4, and 4 in cpuinfo 2.4.24-386-thomas1 ( 386 with APIC ) : Processors: 1, and 1 in cpuinfo. So, if you enable APIC in 386, then if there is a line "Processors:", this is a smp computer.
