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
