KERNEL 586 NO HT

doing a fresh install with cbpp-1.0-i386-20150428.iso on Atom N270 (single core, HT), had a problem due to the HT that was not being used.

This was due to the fact that kernel 3.16.0-4-586 does not have SMT built in kernel:

user@host:~$ cat /boot/config-3.16.0-4-586  | grep CONFIG_SCHED_SMT

receiving no output,
I updated to kernel 3.16.0-4-686-pae and then the HT support was enabled:

user@host:~$ cat /boot/config-3.16.0-4-686-pae  | grep CONFIG_SCHED_SMT
CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=y

install the kernel with:

apt-get install linux-image-3.16.0-4-686-pae
