Just a footnote pointing to the BIOS written by the guy from AMD:

According to the post on LKML, that code is now in the LinuxBIOS SVN 
repository.

I am seriously considering flashing my Tyan dual Opteron board (S2875) 
with LinuxBIOS, because the either the board itself or the vendor BIOS 
has a bug which makes M-Audio MIDI interfaces lock up the whole system. 
I can't duplicate the bug on any other board, so I'm sure it's not the 
software at fault.

Cheers!
