Yes, you are right. But it's useless for solving your original problem.
How is it useless? It has Cedar mill support for CPUID's F62 and F64. Honestly, it's the best one I could find. Otherwise, I'm afraid there isn't much I can find.

There is only one easy way to solve your problem - you need to find any BIOS as similar as possible to yours, but with support of Cedar Mill.

I'm sure there are BIOSes out there with Cedar Mill support, although they would most likely be using an SiS chipset or the Intel 945 chipset. I will try to look for more images. Not sure if it would exactly have to be the same chipset, as I can't readily find a 915 BIOS from Phoenix with Cedar Mill support. I believe Intel Desktop Boards have Phoenix BIOSes but they might be in a different format.

But with different chipset.
BTW: now I think the reason isn't BIOS but the old revision of VRD (Voltage Regulator-Down) on your motherboard.
Strange. I believe all of the 915P boards used 10.1 as with the Cedar Mill CPUs. Might be wrong though... but I believe I can just give up here. There doesn't seem to be a cME BIOS made with Cedar Mill support (and has all of the steppings), so this might just not be possible.

From my experience, it's not the matter with Cedar Mills. Voltage is set correctly, it's the CPU that doesn't want to boot in "unsupported" systems.
I'll definitely take this into consideration. My concern is the lack of microcode for the CPU to be detected properly once it boots up, but this is a great step forward. Might try it when I replace the worn charging port on this computer.
