Comment 2 Xin-Yun Liu (Wolke Liu) 2006-12-21 06:25:24 UTC 
I have tested it successfully on the ATI Marlin (SB600),

The system bios information:
Version: 08.00.04
Build Date: 11/10/06
ID: AMM66B27
Comment 3 Xin-Yun Liu (Wolke Liu) 2006-12-25 08:22:30 UTC 
Could anyone add the pacth to RHEL5 before the final release?

BTW, correct the mainboard information:
ATI (Marlin RS600) bios version: AMML6B54
ATI (Moray RS690), bios verison: AMM66B27
