I wanted to say what I said. Dell, HP, Supermicro, Tyan, and whatever other OEM making commercial servers I know of is highly unlikely to accept a RMA or provide any support on their hardware if you install Coreboot. Therefore any seller of such devices would have to provide such support and warranty on their own.
If you just tampered the UEFI firmware is much less of an issue for RMA and support (in my experience), depending on how bad you tampered with it, anyway.
Which is why you re-flash the original factory firmware before you RMA it >:D
Yeah, getting an RMA isn't hard if you just lie. Won't work for non-RMA support requests though.
