Yes, the order of the cards are "funny", but I believe I got that part
right.
There might be a problem with a slot. Hard to tell. The machine does pass
the self diagnostics. And if I put one of my known bad CPUs in CPU#2 slot,
it will be reported as broken, so obviously some things are detected
atleast.

But I'll try running with just one CPU in CPU#2 slot, and see what
happens.
