Kernel 2.4.26 and hyperthreading


I've installed a debian distro on my comp with the kernel 2.4.26
I'd like to know if the hyperthreading is enabled and working fine. If it's not enabled what should i do it to get it working

run dmesg, and look for a line which implied you have 2 cpus. for example:
CPU1: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz stepping 09
Total of 2 processors activated (12681.21 BogoMIPS).
is near the top on mine. if you cant find anything, check that you have enabled SMP (which allows you to use more than one processor)
