2nd CPU *lost*

We have an AlphaServer 2100 model 4/200 with two CPU boards running 3.2C.
Several months ago the second cpu was disabled by setting the
cpu-enable-mask = 1 in the /etc/sysconfigtab file. (It was disabled for
some kernel software development.) We now need the second CPU operational.

I took the enable mask stuff out of sysconfigtab,rebooted and i get:

        # psrinfo -n
        number of processors on system = 1

The board can be seen, at least partially, from console mode. But i'm
suspicious of the '??????-?' for the second cpu:

        P00>>> show config

        CPU 0 P B2020-AA DECchip (tm) 21064-3
        CPU 1 P B2020-AA DECchip (tm) ?????-?
        MEM 0 P ......
        ........

I've tried booting the standard genvmunix and psrinfo gives the same output.

Any ideas on whether this is a hardware, software or config problem?
Any clues as to what i might try to narrow down the problem?

Thanks,
