You took one CPU out because the board misbehaved. All bets are off. I
would blame the lack of 2nd PCIe slot and 2nd ethernet on the same
hardware fault that caused the 2nd CPU to misbehave. Different firmware
is not going to fix faulty hardware.
It may be just a fault in the single CPU configuration but you have no
way to tell. The only thing you know for sure is that there is a
hardware fault.

Hi Andrew
The lack of 2nd PCIe and ethernet is expected behavior when the 2nd
socket is empty - please see the following
ftp://ftp.tyan.com/manuals/m_s2895_101.pdf
Please see 2nd 'NOTE' section 2.4 page 18
Looking at the system architecture section 2.2, page 9, it becomes clear
why this is so.
I think I will have to re-cap the board to restore the 2nd CPU socket to
eliminate this variable.
