What version of SymPy is this? On master I get
In [1]: x = symbols('x', real=True)
In [2]: f = Lambda(x, 2*sqrt(x)*sqrt(x**3 - x**2 + 1) + 2*x**3 - x**2
+ x*sqrt(x**3 - x**2 + 1) + 2*x**1.5 + 2*x**2.5*sqrt(x**3 - x**2 + 1)
- 3*x**2.5 - 4*x**3.5*sqrt(x**3 - x**2 + 1) - 2*x**3.5 + 5*x**4.5 -
3*x**5.5 - 1)
In [3]: solve(f(x), x)
Out[3]: [0.149910458676117, 1.0]
(note that it takes a while)
