MSI K8T Master2-Far and 1.35 Beta BIOS

Does anyone know what this BIOS update addresses? I am having a
problem with stability on my VIA 8237 SATA raid controller and MSI
referred me to 'TEST' this. I am not in the habit of testing beta
products on a production workstation that is critical to my
livelihood. Does anyone know if this BIOS specifically addresses
anything related to this controller? MSI won't say.

The only change specified is that is allows the Opteron 250.

However would avoid this bios until it's not beta.

Problems I have with 1.35 beta bios are:

Using ATA drives the Harddrive activity light stays always on.
System constantly reboots in Windows XP Pro SP2.

I am using dual Opteron 240's.
