Just to make sure I understand the question again: PC and Servers hardware is suppose to be BIOS compatible? In a case that these do comply and Linux is not supporting BIOS it's another story.

huh? the BIOS is nearly irrelevant, its code is used for phase 0 bootstrap only, and other than the ACPI tables that are used to provide info about power management capabilities. the rest of the BIOS went the way of MSDOS.

whats important know is whether or not the RHEL6 package, and by implication, CentOS6, has out of the box support for all the core IO devices on the system, its network and storage controllers for a server, and also audio and graphics for a workstation.
