/proc/cpuinfo should have a section for each processor, and uname -a should list "SMP" in the middle of the version string. Also, the boot messages (review them with "dmesg | less") should have a whole bunch of lines about IO-APICS, CPU0 and CPU1, as well as a line about Intel Multiprocessor Specification version 1.{1,4} It doesn't sound like your current kernel has SMP support, so you'll have to replace it, either by installing one of the kernel-image-....-smp packages, or by getting the kernel source and compiling it yourself. $ apt-cache search kernel-image | grep smp will find the precompiled packages for you, and $ apt-cache search kernel-source will find the source packages for you.
