akaname, I've only seen it on one machine and that had two Pentium 3 CPUs (separate chips).
Of the machines which have not seen this problem, the virtual machines are all single processor and the servers all had multiple core CPUs (Pentium D, AMD X2, Core2 Duo and Quad). There were a few desktop machines upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 that had single core CPUs - Pentium 4, AMD Athlon, and Intel Atom. The desktops were only upgraded a few weeks ago and are not used by me day-to-day, but have not reported problems so far. I'll try to grab one and power cycle it a bit to recreate the problem. I suspect Scott James Remnant is correct and this is an SMP problem. Most machines built over the past few years have had multi-core CPUs. -- system services not starting at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554172 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
