I have two card ATCA which have the same ethernet chip.
One boot from phenix BIOS and the otherone boot from AMI bios
The one with phenix bios display ok menu ( menu.c32), but oher with ami no

Here is the output

 I debug and found that thay use different video mode

Phenix video mode 0

Menu.c32 seen like not support video mode 3, 80x25, consol redirection
without video card
