<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Understood and thank you for bringing that up I did read through the release notes briefly prior to installing the latest version.<br><br>Some of which I do not have very much understanding of. Maybe I should have held off and researched more than I did. Cause now<br>with sysadmin password set and only hdd selected for boot I get a beep with an error message ---->0662 Error: Configuration has changed. Then resumes booting prompting for password etc. If I revert back to the standard options for the # 2RKT64A no error message shows up. Error 0662 still shows with warm reboot. Looks like I need to do some more research.<br><br>Thanks,<br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: ryan.coleman@cwis.biz<br>Date: Sat, 6 Dec 2014 20:08:16 -0600<br>To: tclug-list@mn-linux.org<br>Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Using full virtualization capabilities of CPU<br><br>Note: I do not want to know what it says but I want you to read it.
