Hi Chris, thank you so much for your response. It prompted me to try again.
Your suggestion failed but I revisited the BIOS settings in the hope that
something would work.

I found a setting called "Port 60/64 Emulation which when disabled allowed
me to enter the password for encryption. (Woo-hoo!)

The description in the BIOS for this setting is:

"Enables I/O Port 60h/64h emulation support"

I also noticed that when I do a system halt, there is a prompt to press
keyboard to reboot. That also didn't work with the way things work.

So, it seems to me there's a fix related to this Port 60/64 that could be
done on the OS side of things.
