@Serge ... I am an experienced sysadmin, I work with Cloudstack ... therefore I work with a lot of KVM machines.
I don't want to prove anything about myself, but now can you be better ensured that I am able to access a Computer BIOS and switch a feature from ON to OFF and viceversa? :) I've also tried few weird suggestions from one developers and I paste you the content of the e-mail: "You might try setting it to disabled in the BIOS to make sure it's not wired backwards. There also used to be some FUD about fully powering off the system around making changes to these settings. You might try unplugging the system for a few seconds and testing from there. " I would also say that WakOnLan sometime works, sometime it doesn't. There is something weird with this motherboard, but until I run a test with Windows I am not able to say if the problem is Linux or the MainBoard. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1201092 Title: Cannot load kvm_amd module - (says disabled by bios) Status in “kvm” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: - Firt of all I would like to mention that this bug as been also raised for Fedora 18.
