Thanks for transmitting the information. Their vague warning about the
Phenom doesn't apply to your case as you have a 0Fh family, not 10h
family CPU. Not that it would be terribly useful anyway, as they do not
say _why_ 3rd party software could get it wrong. And they did not
specifically answered to the question we asked about VID5.

Our testing was pretty clear that the value of VID5 was not correct. If
they can't explain that then I fear they won't be of any help to us :(

As you may have seen, I have posted a patch meanwhile, which should
work around the problem on your board and possibly others. Did you have
the opportunity to test it?
