That worked. Thanks.
I went to the 1.40b image to see how Linux likes it...
On the new BIOS Linux does seem happier with the MP table... But Linux
is now rather unhappy with the SATA - my drive setup that booted just
fine under the 1.40 BIOS no longer finishes booting because of the
following kernel messages. (The boot drive is a 160G Seagate 2.5" SATA
drive.) Notice the "timeout" errors.

So I returned back to the 1.40 bios - Under the 1.40 BIOS the SATA drive
works and the lines above look like:

By-the-way, you asked for feedback on the MP table. Here's what Linux
says under the 1.40b BIOS:
