[LinuxBIOS] Halt after entering protected mode

This is a repost, I'm hoping some folks missed it since the last time I 
posted it in a patch thread. I'm having problems getting the tyan s2507 
to boot into linuxbios, it's hanging with a post code of 0x10, which 
according to POSTCODES is after it enters protected mode. I've used 
outb() to determine that it's hanging before it ever gets to the cpu or 
mainboard initialization, but I'm having trouble tracing it back any 
further, because the inner workings of LB have me very much lost.

I should probably mention that this is a dual p3 board, I don't know if 
cpu/intel/model_6xx was ever inteded to be used for SMP. I've tried this 
with and without smp, and even pulled one of the CPUs, and it still 
hangs. I've also tried with and without APIC, with no luck. I've 
attached my latest Config.lb and Options.lb from my s2507 folder. Please 
post back with any suggestions!

Thanks,
Corey
