Could you send me a lspci -xxx -s0:0.0 of Award BIOS and
serial output of LinuxBIOS?
If I found something interesting there, maybe I can help.

Otherwise, it's difficult for me to cope with it
since the only one EPIA board I have access to is
working quite happily with current code.

I think you don't have to be asked to do basic things 
to track it down (like memtest86, replacing DIMMs,
disabling framebuffer/VGABIOS, etc.)

Only possible solution comes to mind is to introduce
more "Aword compatible" register values. 
I tried many of them, then dropped most of them
once it began to work, to keep it minimum. I didn't like to have
things I can't explain.
