I usually use Soekris boards, but I just bought a PC Engines WRAP board, and much to my surprise it does not come with a CMOS battery. It does not have a soft reset switch either, so every time I power-cycle it loses the date & time and changes to the BIOS settings.
It seems strange to be missing such a fundamental piece of hardware, so I visited soekris.com, and it appears from the product photos that the new generation of SC1100-based boards don't have CMOS batteries either. I don't have any 48xx boards, just the older 45xx boards, and they all have CMOS batteries. This is just plain weird. Anyone have any insights into why they do this? I want to run a nice AstLinux server, not babysit the hardware! -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carla Schroder Linux geek and random computer tamer check out my Linux Cookbook! best book for sysadmins and power users ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kriscompanies.com/mailman/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
