VT disabled on Sony Vaio...

[Andrea Gelmini]

Hi all,
   I've got a Vaio VGN-SZ1VP_C. As you can read here¹, Sony disabled
VT (and AHCI) by BIOS. So, when I try to load KVM module I've got:
kvm: disabled by bios
   Is it possible to ignore BIOS settings (without hacking with hardware)?

Thanks a lot for your time and work,
Andrea

Usually a power off is needed to get the bios updated with the new
settings. Try even to remove the battery and restart it, most chances it
will work.

But that's only true if the bios has a way to change the setting.
According to ¹, and more precisely², this is not the case.
