Hi,

OK, patches for different bits are attached.
The patch does modify up to 4 bits, which is more than I would like to do in
the end. But you can easily disable some parts of it, if the full patch
proves to solve your trouble.
Please test!

It seemed to solved the trouble here on first sight (booting went further
then normal) but in the end did not turn out to solve the trouble here.
(Here means: MSI K7T Turbo (Ver.3) with AMD K7 1.2GHz.)

Regards,
