Thanks for the pointer...this clued me in to look in other places. The BIOS on these hosts was broken and luckily there was a later version which fixed the problem.
For anyone else with the Tyan Thunder K7X (Model S2468): I flashed the V4.03b BIOS
From Tyan:
09/30/02 2468403b.exe TYAN Thunder K7X (S2468) V4.03b Corrects error message when running non-MP CPU
08/16/02 2468v403.exe TYAN Thunder K7X (S2468) V4.03 Add USB boot, 48bit drive size support. ***Fix PCI IRQ routing***, MP table problem. Add new processor support, Add new flash part support, work round for ATI Radeon 7500/78500 card, and work around for NVIDIA chipset Non-PCI compliance AGP cards.
