I've been battling my 2670 rigs lately and while they *finally* work somewhat well, I still have a big issue with an easy but annoying solution.
Everytime I run a rig with no power button from a case or otherwise have to kill it with the PSU button, it won't post on PSU power on again. Even on clean shutdowns from an OS.
I then move the CMOS jumper and clear the CMOS in a 20-25 sec boot and then move the jumper back to normal and boot and it posts and works. Usually, at least to CentOS.
I have updated BIOS to latest firmware but have not run everything on the milelong list of Intel board upgrades I'll admit.
Is this CMOS flash needed intended server room behavior or is there a BIOS setting I can set to make it "okay" for a board to be killed via the PSU button and keep the CMOS settings? ... Assuming normal shutdowns ofc.
Edit: Clarified title.
