[expert] Rebooting 8.2 or 8.2 installer causes bad CMOS checksum

[Joseph Stegner]

For some reason, whenever I reboot from 8.2 (not the betas/RC's, the 8.2 release version) or 8.2's installer after my mouse initializes and the BIOS tries to initialize communication with the hard drives, it will hang - the busy led tells me something is going on, but nothing happens.  After waiting for a minute or so, I'll get either "Bad CMOS checksum, default used" or "Error System Clock" or something of that nature.  Sometimes it'll reset all the changes I made in BIOS.  With Win2k and Mandrake 8.1, nothing of that sort happens.   I'm running on an A7M266-M (Asus board OEM'd for HP configurable comps) with the latest BIOS version 3.33 for Bermuda/BoraBora boards, Tbird 1.4 Ghz Athlon, 256 MB PC2100 DDR, Geforce 2 GTS 64 MB DDR, SB Live! Value, and the hard drives are a 40GB 5400 Seagate and a 20 GB 7200 Maxtor, the Maxtor being the one where I'm putting 8.2 on (if I can ever get it to work :).   Any help would be appreciated.   Joe
