I found a solution to this problem. Before, I needed to boot with options noapic nolapic which caused the machine to bring up one core only. Replacing the boot options as follows noapic nolapic --> pci=assign-busses apicmaintimer idle=poll reboot=cold,hard fixed the problem on my machine. Since I got both cores running quite recently only, I think I will stay with the working configuration for a while before upgrading to the Ubuntu version 9.10
