Hello, i bought a GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4 motherboard after hearing LinuxBios works on it.<br>I have not yet installed it, at the moment i am using the proprietary Award bios version F8 2007/03/20 .<br><br>I wanted to use<font size="2">
<span style="font-style: italic;"> </span></font><font style="font-style: italic;" size="2"><font color="#000000">AMD-V with kvm or xen</font></font>, unfortunately the bios has disabled it and there is no option in the bios to enable it.

Gigabyte M61P-S3 and had the same problem , they downgraded to a bios that did not have G stepping support and amd-v was enabled, of course they lost powernow and other features.<br><span style="font-style: italic;"><br>I am asking if anyone knows if the latest bios version F9 or some way to enable amd-v on the bios, of course i am willing to use linuxBios , but i would like to wait for a few releases so all bugs are cleared and acpi is enabled.
<br><span style="font-style: italic;"><br>I have amd64 x2 5200+ on the board...<br><br></span>kind regards<br><br>Allix Davis<br><br><br></span></font>
