I have recently loaded the new LTS SERVER 10.04 release and it loaded without errors.

My only issue is that it does not seem to correctly identify the Dual Cores for each processor. (The HP xw9300 I have has two hardware CPUs - each one being Dual-Core - so there should be a total of 4 CPUs recognized - unless I am mistaken?)

If anyone knows how I can debug the processor recognition for multi-core support to get the additional cores recognized, please let me know...

My /proc/cpuinfo file looks like this:

check you BIOS ACPI settings. ACPI has to be enabled. Some BIOS settings don't have ACPI set correctly.
