Seems to be, or the motherboard and BIOS state at time of boot, except that
I expected the OS to take over not expect any state of the BIOS. I also  
have
no problem running a a new ASUS C90S Laptop with Core 2 Duo, both i386 and  
x86,
  both xen variant (.21-) and non-xen the released and the updated kernels  
(.23.1-42
& 23.9-85). I will continue experimenting on the laptop to prepare for  
virt. on
the server when it can support mother-board and cpu.

Not that I can figure out, the BIOS seems to expect the OS to take charge.
