Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how did you get around it?
When you reset the BIOS and reboot the machine you see a memory count then the message "162 - System Options Not Set", then the machines reboots it self. After rebooting you no longer see the memory count or message.
I have pressed the Compaq key at various times during this process with no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it's likely that your battery backup for the CMOS is either dead and should be replaced, or you nudged it while shorting the BIOS clear jumper, and it's not contacting the battery clips well enough to maintain the CMOS memory. it's a standard watch/photo battery, and fairly easy to replace, if necessary.

I just received one of the new IA-1's from Tiger and am getting the same thing. I'm certain that I did not touch the battery. What else could be wrong?
