/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.
