It was reported on three different BIOS's and motherboards therefore it is
almost certainly not tied to a specific configuration (the only clue is it
on older machines, but even here I have 12.1 working just fine on a machine
that is older than the any the list, I also have it running on newer
machines).   The fact that it is not tied to a specific hardware
configuration means it *SHOULD* appear on any x86 based machine running
12.1.   But, of course that is not true because the above just described
the vast majority of 12.1 machines out there.   Thus we are left with only
one possible conclusion who ever reported it and/or experiences it is
making some kind of user error (what it is who knows!).

Yet you have time to complain about how the FreeBSD community refuses to
get with the times when it comes to MUA's.   I guess your experience here
disproves your claim that "newer is better" in all regards and that "shiny
objects" are more important than functionality.   Perhaps your time is
better spent figuring out what user error you made to trigger the "bug"
that you're complaining about (since it almost certainly is not an actual
bug).
