Maybe some of those people just didn't realize it was disabled in BIOS?
If you tell users that it's a firmware bug then they'll probably just
give up.

Why do you think so? I spent an hour on hunting down the BIOS upgrade,
only to find that it didn't improve anything. It was a day later that I
realized that it might be a BIOS option; and the option was literally
the _last_ option in the whole BIOS setup. :)

This message would have saved the day.

Sure, you have a point here.

How about this patch?
