I should rephrase that.. the system appears to see both CPUs, but only 
appears to start one.  I'm basing this entirely off the dmesg output and 
the fact that ps doesn't show any processes on CPU 1.  This seemed sort 
of interesting, though:

$ ps -lxa | egrep 'idle|CPU'
  UID   PID  PPID CPU PRI NI   VSZ  RSS MWCHAN STAT  TT       TIME COMMAND
    0    11     0   0 -16  0     0   20 -      RL    ??   41:25.12  
(idle: cpu1)
    0    12     0   0 -16  0     0   20 -      RL    ??   41:22.70  
(idle: cpu0)
 1001   704   633   0  -8  0  5708  920 piperd S+    p0    0:00.01 egrep 
idle|CPU
$

Am I misreading that, or do I have two idle processes even though only 
one CPU seems to have started?

- a.
