Colin,

Something we're gonna have to start dealing with pretty soon:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=127996556318938&w=2

I wonder if there are some tests you can add to the BIOS test tool, 
e.g., how to test for drives that have non-traditional block sizes, 
large partition sizes, what boot partitions are useable, etc. Perhaps a 
part of the test tool will have to run from the grub menu (like memtest).
