Comment 11 for bug 538505

Can confirm it is still a problem with Kubuntu Lucid 10.4 RC. AMD 64 When I looked in System Monitor, I saw that the installer had only recognized one of my 4 processors and it was running 100%. It took about a hour to install and the quit before completion during the drive setup which could destroy data.

I must disagree with Johnathan that this is acceptable. It will turn users away from Ubuntu/Kubuntu as they will not have the patience to install several times until it works not mentioning the potential data lost which could be catastrophic.
