No BIOS update is available that addresses anything resembling issues described in this bug. http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/bios.php?S_ID=355
The hwinfo you've attached shows: DMI: BIOSTAR Group G31-M7 TE/G31-M7 TE, BIOS 080014 05/19/2008 and maybe there have been some fixes in the meanwhile not mentioned.
11.0 and 11.2 always boot right up, and IIRC, so does Knoppix from CD and DVD v 5.3.1, 6.0 & 6.2.
The problem happens by using the kernel from 11.4 not from 11.0, nor 11.2, nor from Knoppix. This could be a bug of the kernel as well as a bug of the mainboard or a bug handling ACPI events of this mainboard or all of them.
I've not yet seen explained how to disable DRM/GPU control, irqbindall, set_kthread_prio. I only know how to disable services that obviously exist in chkconfig --list output, plus nomodeset on cmdline. If there's some doc that explains, please name it.
For drm use lsmod | grep drm and blacklist the module which uses drm_kms_helper in /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf, run mkinird afterwards to make this also available in the initrd. Also disable KMS by setting NO_KMS_IN_INITRD to "yes" in /etc/sysconfig/kernel
I'm also waiting for an answer to whether there's any point to trying disabling HyperThreading in the BIOS.
This is openSUSE not SLES
Note too all my other systems for which blogd solved the parallel boot issues are both slower and older than big31, not running RAID, and not HyperThreading.
