I found one BIOS entry, "Virtualization technology"; it was initially disabled, but I enabled it before I installed CENTOS, and verified that it was still enabled later (I reported enabling it in my original message).

That's the entry. But reports are some systems need to be fully powered off for the entry to be effectively changed - some BIOSes evidently are flakey about it.
Now *there's* something I wouldn't have thought of trying on my own.
Okay, I can get physical access to the system, and probably even pull its plugs (I'm not really used to dealing with the complex cabling mess at the back; I'm mostly a software developer with some sysadmin duties for the small number of Linux boxes in this Windows shop).
