What if you boot with other kernel?
If you have the same result maybe BIOS update is required for your server?!

Hi there,
I'm running an ibm xseries 345/dual Xeon 2.66GHz, 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5xen #1 SMP, and cat /proc/cpuinfo shows me only one processor. Apparently something strange happening with ACPI. What am I doing wrong? Thank you! (sorry for the cross post, didn't realize there was a virt list first time around!)
Selected bits from dmesg:

Hi thanks for the response BIOS is updated and current, if I boot to gentoo liveCD, I see the expected 4 processors. This server has indeed shown TWO processors using centOS xen-kernel before, but now after some time and upgrades I notice there is only one (again!).
Is it as simple as BIOS in every case, or is there some other path to discovering the problem I can try? (I have done many many hours of forum searches and googling on this issue) Thank you
