It's not finding an APIC table (either MPTable or MADT) at all, and it needs 
that to find CPUs.  See if there are any BIOS options for things like MP 
Table or 'Separate APIC Table' under ACPI.  Also, try running 'mptable' to 
see if it finds a table, and acpidump -t to see if that finds an APIC table.
