Ooh, ugly. Sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying was the problem.

You say it is stable with one CPU using the Tyan BIOS so it is at least
possible to use the board as is.
There is certainly code in the S2895 devtree and mptable to allow for
the missing devices caused by a missing 2nd CPU but I have no idea how
well tested that is. How does it behave if you boot with ACPI disabled?
