Some notes to myself for Elysie-II since the update of the BIOS from release 5 to release 7:
- Xubuntu: For Hyper-Threading to work, ACPI needs to be enabled at the BIOS.
- Xubuntu: To not cause a device driver crash, disable integrated VGA support in the BIOS.
- Windows 7: In total contrast to Xubuntu, to not cause a device driver crash, enable the integrated VGA support in the BIOS.
I have no idea why this is the case---enabling the Intel integrated graphics causes an IRQ conflict in the Linux kernel, which basically locks up the system without the ability to be dropped down to a shell. In contrast,
not enabling the Intel integrated graphics causes the Windows display device driver to scream bloody murder after an indeterminate amount of time, even though I
disabled that device in the device manager.
Very very curious.
It's probably only a slight annoyance for now, considering that the Windows set up is used only for gaming.
