Actually, I think it's better supported via grub-pc. In BIOS we have a workaround for the keyboard bug.

Does this device have an AT keyboard? Our keyboard driver has the same bug, too, but at least we can fix it ;-) -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What good is a phone call… if you are unable to speak?
