I have the same board. Works well with LinuxBIOS v1.
AFAIK there is currently no v2 support for SiS boards like the K7SEM.

Yes, works here.
The kernel patches with v1 are only for 2.4 kernels. They are not neccessary,
but perhaps useful, so i ported them to 2.6 a while ago. See here

Try to get a DiskOnChip Millenium (NOT a DoC 2000). Although they are not
produced anymore ;-(
Does anyone know if the DoC Millenium Plus (has a boot capability) is also
sufficient?

There is a K7SEM HOWTO in the sources.
The last time i checked the CVS, it was broken for K7SEM. Try this patch for a
workaround
