Ubuntu Intel Xeon E5420 quad core available only one core

I had install an Ubuntu x64 9.04 and upgrade it to x64 10.04 but I have problem with cpu cores.
when I run cat /proc/cpuinfo
I take the following info:
processor      : 0
vendor_id      : GenuineIntel

why cpu cores is 1 and not 4?

also

the command

lshw -class cpu

return:

Do you use an SMP kernel?
uname -a

yes
the result of uname -a is:
Linux 2.6.32-24-server #43-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 16 16:05:42 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Isn't it a virtual machine, your Linux running on?
