actually, my BIOS is even to old for e.g. ACPI, with latest firmware installed. i had no issues so far with the board/bios, but perhaps this is no longer true. however, it's still strange that this thing is only triggerd with you change and CONFIG_EDD=y.

nevermind then. as nobody else seem to be bothered by this i am happy with the workarund (CONFIG_EDD=n) and since the lkml-archives exist we could get back to it when it's bothering more people (n>1)
