[OT] Awardbios virtualisation setting

[John Horne]

Hello,

I have been playing with KVM virtualisation under F11, and it has all
worked fine.

However, I am having a lot of trouble getting the 'Virtualisation'
setting to 'stick' in the BIOS. It seems that by default it is disabled.
If I enable it and then save the setting, the PC goes through a reboot,
but not power-off, and the setting is disabled again. IF I enable the
setting, save it, and then power off the PC, and then power-on/reboot,
it seems to work fine (virtualisation is enabled) until the next time I
reboot the PC. It is then back to being disabled.

Does anyone know how to make the virtualisation setting permanently
'enabled'? It is an abit motherboard (AN-M2; socket AM2), and an AMD
Athlon 64-bit X2 (6400 I think; the PC is at home and I'm at work at the
moment). The BIOS is phoenix awardbios version 6.01 (again I think). I
have checked with the abit web site, and I have the latest BIOS version
for this motherboard.


Thanks,

John.
