The title describes my problem. Also with 'lapic' option, only one core is enabled.

Tried with 10.10(amd64), 11.04(amd64)

10.10 x86 version didn't boot with nolapic option. Now I'm using 11.04 amd64 version (updated).

  1. This is most probably a kernel issue. However to diagnose is difficult through askubuntu - a better forum based arena would I'm sure provide a more interactive question and answer type scenario to find an answer. My advice is therefore more generic.

  2. Since you have tried lapic as a boot option, what other options have you tried? This link has some commonly used boot options that you may/may not have tried.enter link description here

  3. Sometimes looking on your motherboard website there could be an updated bios update you could try.

  4. Some people have perversely found that the 32bit ubuntu is better on a 64bit CPU and visa-versa.

  5. Have a look in your BIOS options. Sometimes, for whatever reason, ACPI is disabled. If you have this option (or something like "power management") make sure it is enabled.
