(the HP NX7000 is basically the same machine as the Compaq X1000).

 From what I could find from Google, acpi=ht means only use the ACPI 
tables to determine the number and type of processors. So for Mandrake 
to use acpi=ht is not wrong, because the ACPI tables should report one 
non-hyper-threaded processor. Using acpi=ht doesn't cause a problem with 
anything other than ndiswrapper (this of course doesn't necessarily mean 
that the bug is in ndiswrapper).
