As I haven't managed to elicit any responses from my previous post (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qubes-users/Hp-lOV-jdvU the output from my rdsosreport can be found there) I thought I'd try giving more information, like the BIOS settings I have.
I have tried a variety of settings but I figure that some of the most important are "virtualization" which I usually enable (though have tried disabled for the heck of it). If there are any settings here which should/shouldn't be enabled I'd of course appreciate *any* feedback I can get. The PDF for the settings are here http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02950079.pdf but I reformatted them to make it reflect the settings I am trying to use and put them below to try to make it as accessible as possible. Thanks. ***TPM Embedded Security - Manage the TPM module settings *Embedded Security Device Availability Exposes the integrated TPM module Available *Embedded Security Device State Enables the integrated TPM module Disabled *Factory Defaults Set TPM Embedded Security settings to factory default N/A Power-On Authentication Support Enables multi-factor authentication at power on Disabled Reset Authentication Credential Resets credentials No OS Management of TPM Allow the operating system to manage TPM module Enabled *** Boot Options Startup Menu Delay (Sec.)
