Lenovo ThinkPad T400 virtualization fails despite BIOS set

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T400 with the BIOS version 2.16 7VET6WW dated
2009-04-22 with system board vf27k9434tj and the Intel P8600 CPU.

I try to set up virtualization with VirtualBox 4.3.12 r93733 installed from Synaptic on Linux Mint Cinnamon 17 'Quiana' 64-bit, but VirtualBox tells me I do not have VT-d enabled, even though it is enabled in the BIOS, and I have cycled power since changing the BIOS.

When you "cycled power," did you turn the machine all the way off, or just do a Ctrl-Alt-Del? My fuzzy memory is that you need to completely power the machine off for that particular BIOS change to take effect.

In linux, "grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo" will tell you if the CPU has virtualization enabled.
