Does it remember any configuration setting? I.e. if you change some random BIOS setting, turn it off, turn it on and go back to the BIOS and see if that is still set. If no memory and not a battery problem then there is some bad connection from the battery to the motherboard, or maybe you left the reset jumper on the motherboard in the wrong position.
Bill, With the new battery installed I set time and date, specified the boot device and tried booting. That failed. When I restarted the system and entered the BIOS settings they were as set. The reset jumper was not installed. I have not used a CMOS reset jumper on any system I've built. Haven't understood why I would want to. Seems likely that the motherboard has a flaw somewhere. Thanks very much for your ideas, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
