Date and time reset all the time.

Does anyone here have the same problem that I have?



Everytime when I boot up from OS X the data and time always sets back to 1969......



I suspect it was the battery but I don't have the date reset thing happen with OS 9



Any idea?

    D'oh! This must the the hundredth time I've explained this... oh well. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />



    Here's the brief explanation: If you have a SCSI card, OSX queries it at startup and it return some kind of reset flag. This bug was introduced in 10.1 GM and wasn't in any of the dev builds I tried before the GM. The only solution is to yank out the offending card or not restarting (yes, I know this isn't a solution for you with your OS9 apps).



    Does that answer your question?

    But I don't have ANY cards sitting on the PCI slots



    Now that's even more weird...

    oh! that IS wierd... we apparently have the same Mac (DP500G4?) so I'll do some tests when I get home. I've never actually taken out my SCSI card (OSX boots off my SCSI drive).



    Hmmm... no PCI cards at all? :confused:



    I'll investigate further...

    I went to MacOSX.com and MacFixit forums and many people have the same problem.



    About the majority of people who have this problem are using DP machines.....well...I use DP too



    I can't believe OSX is giving so many glitches to the DP users
