Thanks. I'll try the acpi thing.
Regarding the Bios, I've got the last version.
Kubuntu has no problems either to see the 4 cores...
I'll see what I can do tomorrow.

You can try adding 'noacpi' to your boot string in your grub.conf file
and see if that helps.

I have an AMD Athlon 64 x2 on an ECS mobo that is known to have a
problem with acpi.  If I try to run without the noacpi switch, it runs
very poorly and crashes or halts within minutes of booting, if it
boots at all.  With the flag, it runs smooth as silk.
