On x86, the BIOS led state can be read from byte 0x97 the BIOS RAM. The

Perhaps that's what Suse does, but the proper address is 0x417.
0x497 is the rarely-used LPT2 timeout counter.
Still, the information printed by hwinfo is correct, I've tested it
myself. Is there some publicly available documentation about the x86
BIOS RAM mapping?
Google for Ralf Brown's Interrupt List.
