David, A Pentium D is a dual core CPU. It is two Pentium 4E stuck together for the 800 series. I have an 830.
Anyway, this can be closed. It turned out to be an ACPI issue. It doesn't make sense, but after I reset the CMOS to the defaults, everything is working correctly. I wished I saved a dmesg result before doing it because it still doesn't make sense that the Live CD would detect it fine and not the installed version. I know how hard it is to fix bugs and I'm sorry I didn't get as much information as I could.
