Thanks for the fast feedback. This BIOS has a UEFI boot option which isupports EFI booting an OS. Got it to work for a while and then somehow it managed to hose itself by adding one too many boot options. I suspect a buggy implementation of an EFI boot manager but Intel will not provide any support because (1) I was using Linux and (2) it is a desktop motherboard. I wanted to clean out the EFI boot options.
Guess I will just have to demand a replacement motherboard under warranty.
If the flahs chip is socketed, you could read and reflash it in another motherboard or with the help of an external cheap SPI programmer (depending on your soldering skills, you can even use a $3 USB parport cable).
