Dual cores not showing with kernel-686

Hi there,



I've just installed 6.06 on my VaioSZ 160. It's a dual core system.



After installing, I ran :



apt-get install linux-686



Which, as I understand, now includes the SMP option by default.
(linux-686-smp is a metapackage)



Now, if I run uname -a I get :



2.6.15-23-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT



And if I run : cat /proc/cpuinfo I get :



processor       : 0

vendor_id       : GenuineIntel

cpu family      : 6

model           : 14

model name      : Genuine Intel(R) CPU           T2400  @ 1.83GHz

stepping        : 8

cpu MHz         : 1833.636

cache size      : 2048 KB

physical id     : 0

core id         : 255

cpu cores       : 1

fdiv_bug        : no

hlt_bug         : no

f00f_bug        : no

coma_bug        : no

fpu             : yes

fpu_exception   : yes

cpuid level     : 10

wp              : yes

pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx pni monitor vmx
est tm2 x

tpr

bogomips        : 2002.96





So I keep getting the feeling that while I paid for two cores, I'm
using just one. I read from other people that they had no problem
displaying the two cores on an identical model (Sony Vaio SZ110). I
just can't see what the problem might be.



The  'System Monitor' utility also displays a single Core/CPU





Any help appreciated!
