For what it's worth... I tried to reproduce this problem by booting the Hardy i386 Live Desktop cd on each of my AMD x2 machines. Once the live CD was up and running, I examined /proc/cpuinfo looking for only one core.
I was NOT able to reproduce this problem on the following CPU's: 1) AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 2) AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+ 3) AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ 4) AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ 5) AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ Although I have 5 different CPU's, I only have 2 different motherboards, both Nvidia chipsets. This leads me to believe that this might be a particular to your motherboard? Perhaps a BIOS setting? What is the motherboard manufacturer and model where these problems are occurring? :-Dustin -- Athlon X2 Dual Core Processor - Second CPU/Core not working with i386 kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213011 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
