Warm reboot directly to Grub

Is it possible to warm-reboot Linux, directly reloading GRUB without passing through the BIOS? I have a computer whose BIOS is buggy and takes a while due to its hating my disks so if I can reboot directly to Grub it would be great.

To those that are confused: I'm looking for is a kernel module that acts to unload the kernel and execute the boot sector upon a "reboot".

Here are my system specs:

You should check coreboot a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload.

Wiki of coreboot supported motherboards.

Extracted from here.

EDIT:

MCP55 chipset is supported. It could be that your chipset (MCP61) is supported.

Note that there is already support for your chipset MCP61 in flashrom.

Specifically check this section of coreboot wiki

I hope that I gave you some useful tips.

Hopefully we are not off-topic in askubuntu ;)
