Wrong BIOS is pretty fundamental -- the BIOS could have messed up many undocumented (and possibly write-once) register settings etc. The kernel can work around slighly broken ACPI tables or things like that, but if, say, undocumented write-only north bridge registers are wrong, not much we can do about that.
Really you better just get the right BIOS on the board.
