Issue with multi core CPU on new install

Hello,

I'm trying to install UTM 9 home edition on a new Zimaboard 832 singleboard server

It's based on Intel Celeron Processor 'Apollo Lake'
N3450 / 4 Cores
1.1GHz base frequency
2.2GHz Burst
2MB L2 cache

It has Dual Realtek NIC 

2x GbE LAN Ports
Realtek 8111H

What works:

- installing with "default nosmp" mode 
- disabling 3 cores in BIOS and installing normally

But then, I have only 1 core used

What doesn't work:
- installing with 4 cores enabled

- enabling 3 cores after installing with only 1 core enabled.

My question is:

is there a way to get UTM 9 to install/run on the 4 cores ?

I'd really like to keep using UTM since I've had it running since UTM 5 (I think), and I don't want to configure an entire new PFsense platform -_-

  • Well, I tried again this morning, leaving all 4 cores enabled in BIOS.
    It froze as before before even showing the installation script.

    But I let it run.

    1h later; blank screen, no keyboard response

    I let it run

    1h later (so 2h total): install script was displayed and I could start it.

    It did detect the 4 cores.
    It is now installing (albeit slowly, and still hasn't detected the EMMc)
    we'll see how it goes

  • 2h later the install is complete (where it used to take a few minutes from the same media/drive)

    Booting seems to start and switches to blank screen, but I guess I'll be patient again and see how it goes
    I think I saw some lines of text and "probing EDD" before screen went blank, but it went too fast to be sure
