We consider an elliptic problem of Ambrosetti-Prodi type involving critical Sobolev exponent on a bounded smooth domain. We show that if the domain has some symmetry, the problem has infinitely many (distinct) solutions whose energy approach to infinity even for a fixed parameter, thereby obtaining a stronger result than the Lazer-McKenna conjecture.
