I convinced Supermicro support to send me an unqualified beta bios they developed a few years ago for X9SRW-F. I was unable to get full 4x4x4x4x bifurcation working. With this firmware it seems to work correctly. Any ideas on how to root out any bugs? Link to bios:

Use this bios at your own risk, Supermicro support could not offer any indication if there are any horrible bugs. That being said the system seems to boot up fine and I'm running stressapptest on a debian live cd ATM.
Possible change log:
IPMI system boot command can't work
USB Key (USB HDD type) can't boot to DOS when 4K Native HDD attached
Slim DVD ROM cannot read data from Dual layer DVD image problem
DMI lose after flashing BIOS by tool then OOB update BIOS
Expose CPU PCIe bifurcation items
system stuck when press Ctrl-H to entering LSI option ROM issue
