That's an opteron board. Sure it behaves differently than a system with
an intel southbridge.
The effect I see here, too, is that the 855/ich4 systems have some kind
of EC which takes control before the first instruction is executed.
Also, there is no output on the serial console, even though the SuperIO
driver is known to work fine on other mainboards. So it definitely is a
board/southbridge specific issue.

Their kernels block IO accesses? Weird. Why?
