Unfortunately I have not tried that on real hardware since I don't have one available. If you guys have some free time to try that please do it and give me some feedback. I intend to acquire a compatible mother board soon.

I used LinuxBIOSv2 is most of my debugging and development, I have  switched to v3 maybe a month ago. So I guess it works fine with both.
 

We have been working hard on Vista now.
