Right. base-installer was suppose to deal nicely with it for you.

I don't have access to get this data however today's base-installer
checks it on /proc/cpuinfo.

Please, go in your installed system and use the installation-report
script to send us a full installation report, that way we can get more
information about how things went there.
I've checked base-installer code and it has code to handle hppa smp
machines. Probably 2.6.22 had a problem to enable your second
processor and then this might be fixed once we go to 2.6.24.
Filling a full installation report will allow us to check if this code
has issues or if it wasn't properly detected.
