Hi Xianwen, I guess this is one of "you're-on-your-own" cases, the BIOS being locked by IT I'm even surprised you're allowed to install a different OS on the machine.
For starters I'd speak directly with them and check what are you allowed or not to do with the machine. /mestre On Monday, 12 February 2018, Xianwen Chen wrote: > Dear Mike, > > From the output of dmesg, I guess so.
