Subject: only a single core (out of 8) initialized

this is 2.6.30-rc7 with a patch added to debug a nv sata driver 
incompatibility with the Intel SSDs on a tyan motherboard

on one system it sees all 8 cores, on the other system it only initializes 
one core.

can anyone help me spot what's going wrong in the one that's only seeing a 
single core? If I'm reading things correctly it's seeing both sockets for 
the NUMA setup, but then only initializing one core on the first socket.
