It appears there are a couple issues here. First, Kent points out that
the system's BIOS is apparently not production level.  This system came
to us via hardware enablement.  It was my understanding that when HWE
does certification testing for the Enablement Image, they MUST use
production  level BIOS.  pre-GA BIOS levels are not acceptable for
Certification purposes.

Thus, there's a breakdown somewhere in the process that needs to be
addressed separately from this bug.

More apropos to this bug is what to do.  If this, as you indicate, is a
very common issue and does NOT pose the risk of usability or stability
problems during normal use, then the action to take from this bug is to
update FWTS and demote this from HIGH to MEDIUM.  If it remains as HIGH,
it will likely hold up certification ever time we encounter it as
manually marking exceptions to HIGH failures will not scale and
eventually a bad bug will slip through, or systems will fail to reach
certified status due to non-issues.

I'll re-assign it to the Firmware Testing Team to decide on how to
proceed with this.
