The current Debian kernel supports only 32 cpu's. Set CONFIG_NR_CPUS to
48 or higher and recompile your kernel.

True! :-o

sm01@stt008:~$ grep -i nr_cpus /boot/config-2.6.26-2-amd64
CONFIG_NR_CPUS=32

Where is that limit coming from? It must be a rationale for doing it so.

Ah, found this thread:

Debian stock kernel config -- CONFIG_NR_CPUS=32?

Oops, no rationale then :-)
