No it doesn't, I had already tried disabling HT in the BIOS.

I did notice when booting in rescue mode from the CD
the sizes of "unused kernel memory freed" and "kernel read-only data
write protected" were different from the sizes when booting from hard
disk, is that a different kernel used by the installer, or just
different modules in use?
