gwneguillaume Posted May 14, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 14, 2014 Hi, I have a problem with an HP DC 7800. I test Nanoboot 5.0.2.2 and dsm 5.0.4482. It works fine but after each reboot or shutdown, my bios is reset with default settings. Time is incorrect and i mean to hit F1 for save default settings to Bios. I have tested to enter a password in bios but the problem is still present. I have view issues with that in this forum. How can i resolve this problem ? Thanks PS: sorry for my English.

Diverge Posted May 14, 2014 Share #2 Posted May 14, 2014 Bios not saving has nothing to do with gnoboot, synology, ect. I'd check your cmos battery on your motherboard if settings aren't saving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwneguillaume Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted May 15, 2014 Hi, If i boot another OS and shutdown / reboot computer the bios settings are correct.But if i boot with gnoobot or nanoboot, my settings is reset. You can view in this Topic : viewtopic.php?f=2&t=519&hilit=bios+checksum users who have same problem but no solution. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarsManden Posted May 15, 2014 Share #4 Posted May 15, 2014 Have you in Xpenology set up scheduled shutdown/startup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htpcdude Posted May 15, 2014 Share #6 Posted May 15, 2014 I believe BIOS reset issue is a hardware compatibility issue, not a software issue. I think DSM wants to keep time using GMT and not your local time zone. Like all modern OS, DSM wants to modify the BIOS to its correct time (GMT). Since your BIOS is not compatible with the way DSM wants to modify the time, you get a corrupted BIOS after reboot. The only possible solutions: Update the BIOS and hope the update is compatible with DSM Write protect the BIOS so no OS can modify it. Use a different motherboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayesh Posted May 25, 2014 Share #7 Posted May 25, 2014 I had the same problem with my n54l and xpneology. I had auto shutdown\powerup configured and every time the system starts the date and other settings for achpi settings were getting overwritten. I was trying few things together but seems like the issue is resolved after that. Not exactly sure which one of the below action resolved the issue. 1. I deleted the power options for shutdown\powerup. 2. Made changes to .conf file for WOL. 3. Made changes to the conf files for eSata changes. 4. Made bios password protected. Now i dont have the bios reset issue . trying to fix couple of other issues and i am done 1. WOL works within my home network but not from outside the network. 2. eSata got identified after the conf file changes but it made my sata hdd connected (volume2) not recognize even though the hdd is detected in bios and all settings are proper. xpneology was not detecting the hdd connected to the sata port. So i had to revert the esata conf changes for hdd to detect in xpneology. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstout Posted May 25, 2014 Share #8 Posted May 25, 2014 @Jayesh, what steps did you take to "delete the power options for shutdown\powerup"? I'm having the same issues on one of my towers and don't have a write-protect option in my BIOS. Really hoping to find a way to stop DSM from attempting to write to the BIOS.
