[Bug 554172] Re: system services not starting at boot

[John Edwards]

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.
