Is this a precompiled Debian kernel? Looks like SMP is not enabled,
otherwise the name should be 2.4.26-2-686-smp. What is the output of

grep -e CONFIG_SMP /boot/config-2.4.26-2-686

You probably have to install a SMP enabled kernel.

By the way, IIRC if you use the VESA framebuffer driver, you can tell
how many CPUs the kernel sees from the amounts of penguins shown at
boot time.
