Told "linux isn't relevant enough to fix a bios bug". Stopped
buying them.<br>
<br>
Sadly no, vendors (like hp) suck for linux at times and in
general, might try some of the various grub flags for disabling
acpi, if a desktop and not sleeping, you're not losing much except
maybe some power management. Dell is generally more friendly, but
as I mentioned not always either. Anything windoze 8.x-ish is
just generally more unfriendly/quirky toward linux I find.<br>
<br>
Thank them when you pay your next microsoft tax on a prebuilt
system.<br>

See if there is a bios update too. Seems no one bothers
to make anything right the first time since microsoft
perfected the "ship crap and patch later" game.<br>

You want really odd bios, my newest dell laptop after
about a month of use with only suspends will start
turning itself back on back on. Even with a poweroff
now, I have to literally 5 second poweroff to make it
stay down or it'll just start booting again. Ghost in
the shell, or at least acpi functions.<span

<div>Sounds like your bios is
resetting - maybe the cmos
battery? The VT bit is a bios
setting, really shouldn't change
unless you have a os-level app
that controls the bios too.
Seems most newer non-basic
boards have this now.<span><font

<div>Hi all,<br>
</div>
I'm not sure if
someone has
already asked this
question. I have
a 64 bit host that
I have VT enabled
in the BIOS. I
can sometime
create/run 64 bit
guest machines and
other times not.
It is usually when
I reboot my
computer.<br>
<br>
</div>
I have tried to turn
off VT or just
having it on. It
will eventually come
back though. This
problem has been
going on for a while
now. I was on
Ubuntu 12.04 but now
14.04 beyond that
nothing else
changed. <br
