[rescue] SS10 CPU detection problems

Hi,
I own a SparcStation 10 with two 390Z55 (501-2352 SM51) CPU boards.
It used to happily come up with both, but recently it sometimes
drops into firmware with a Watchdog Reset, and reports only
1 X 390Z55.
I've tried to find out which of the boards is bad, but it gets even
more strange from there - the system won't do anything at all with
only one of the MBUS slots populated (I get one keyboard blink, but
the system LED stays off, regardless of which CPU I use). Same when
I swap both boards around.
Has anyone run into something like this? I don't really have any
debugging tools other than what's provided by the system. It
currently has Solaris 2.5.1 installed, which does boot despite
all this weirdness, provided there's no Watchdog Reset first.
Alex.
