O servidor Ubuntu 11.04 reconhece apenas 1 núcleo em vez de 4

Question

Procurei outras perguntas e pesquisei muito no Google, mas não encontrei uma solução para resolver esse problema.
Eu tenho Ubuntu Server 11.04 64bit instalado no meu Dell Poweredge com Intel Xeon X5450 .

O servidor reconhece apenas 1 dos 4 núcleos que eu tenho. Eu tentei modificar o GRUB config mas não funcionou. Na máquina BIOS não encontrei nada útil.

Não consigo descobrir. Este último comando mostra que os núcleos são 4 e estão todos habilitados.
O comando top depois de pressionar 1 mostra apenas CPU0 .

    

Answer 1

Seu dmesg inclui a mensagem de log:

[    0.016051] SMP disabled

De dar uma olhada no código fonte do kernel, parece que o parâmetro nolapic kernel está impedindo que o kernel suba no modo SMP. Se você remover este parâmetro, deverá ter todas as CPUs disponíveis.

Houve algum motivo para os parâmetros noapic e nolapic ? Se não, você deve ficar bem.
