Sorry, guess I wasn't clear. I meant that for P4 Xeons with 
hyperthreading, I'd reccomend the UP kernel for production use. 
Hyperthreaded processors can do odd things unless all the relevant 
errata are fully applied and some massaging done - soonish, you'll be 
able to run up2date and suddenly your machine will be able to take 
advantage of hyperthreading.
