 I recently updated the BIOS to version 2.03 from version 1.03, which was
 what I was using when I submitted this PR.

 The revisions of the Opertons are C0, and according to AMD there were two
 errata open that was responsible for the deadlock. These are errata 99 and
 101, which have been fixed in the BIOS.

 I have load tested the machine now with 8GB RAM, and everything is holding
 up under 6.2-PRERELEASE.

 We can now close this bug. Thanks.
