Just the man I was hoping would answer.
We are struggling to get any sane BIOS menu out of this
Gigabyte mobo, seems so basic and so far i've been unable to
locate an advanced menu (nevermind any option with a 'V' in it.)
we are currently running F22 (knowing F23 is out there) but no
real reason to update thus far.
None of the F keys bring up an advanced menu.
- any hints on how to find the sub sub sub menu would be
greatly appreciated and might save me a few years of hair loss.

Hi
folks.
Started to scratch my head a little here although I feel I
remember choosing the parts for a computer for gaming
knowing that VM's were not likely to be used.
Well, all of a sudden somebody needs to learn Linux and so
we first tried installing hyper-v in windows 10 pro however
it seemed that something was missing (virtualisation support
in firmware) and hyper-v would not work.
Moved on to Virtualbox which is software i am more
comfortable with and although i am able to install Debian
through the VM software the VM does not boot. I just get a
screen full of numbers. (call trace : speculative store
bypass update, ssb prctl set, do seccomp, do int80 syscall -
blah blah - end trace )
From the hardware listed below, is anyone able to point out
an incompatibility or some physical reason why I am having
issues with something that has always been so simple and
natural to setup.
Gigabyte AX370M-Gaming 3 AM4 DDR4 mATX Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 5 1500X Quad Core AM4 CPU/Processor with Wraith
Spire 95W cooler
Samsung 250GB 970 Evo M.2 SSD
Seagate BarraCuda Pro 1TB Laptop Hard Drive 2.5" 7mm SATA
III 6GB's 7200RPM 128MB Cache
Asus Cerberus GTX 1050 Ti OC Edition 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 X 8GB) Memory Kit Pc4-25600
3200MHz DDR4 DIMM C16 (Red)
Psu Vs450w 80+
That's a nice little setup and is definitely capable of
virtualisation - you just need to turn it on in the UEFI
settings.
Your clue was: "virtualisation support in firmware". This is
disabled by default in the vast majority of consumer systems
for some reason.
Any cursory googling for $your_mobo + virtualization will get
you to the right place, for example:
https://forum.level1techs.com/t/solved-no-virtualization-support-with-gigabyte-ga-ab350-gaming-3/114171
On modern Ryzens it's usually hidden away somewhere in a
sub-sub-sub menu, often called "SVM".
Without this turned on elementary non-accelerated 32bit guest
virtualization _might_ work sometimes but will be horrid.
Hyper-V categorically will not work in any way without the
UEFI support enabled though and neither will 64bit
Virtualbox/VMWare guests.
Make sense?
Also definitely not [OT].
Cheers
