Hi folks,
Still having fun with my 'new' PC. I mentioned before I thought the BIOS CMOS chip wasn't remembering stuff. Replaced the battery and it appears it does. But not everything.
Two problems; a
As previously remarked it won't retain choice of boot disk (SATA 0) and throws an error, 'no bootable media' unless I hit f9 to choose a disk, then it boots Grub properly.
Even more weird the BIOS date changes, and Mint uses that that to set system time. It jumps forward sometimes by about three days. Most things work OK but emails are rejected as the date is implausible. can't reset it from Mint, have to reboot to BIOS and set there. Not every time though, seems random.
