Disabling dual core on our s2891 boards with Opteron 270's doesn't seem
to work properly. When I boot with dual core disabled, I am getting two
cores on one socket enabled and none on the other socket. Here's
/proc/cpuinfo with dual core disabled:

It also performs like it's using both cores on one socket. Any
thoughts?
Thanks,
