I’m experiencing an issue with my ZimaBlade. When the ZimaBlade is shut down or the power adapter is disconnected, the boot order becomes disrupted. The non-EUFI disk then becomes the first selected option in the BIOS. If I manually adjust the boot order, the ZimaBlade boots normally. Restarting also doesn’t pose a problem. However, when the power adapter is disconnected for an extended period, the ZimaBlade loses its BIOS settings and thus the boot order.

I’m experiencing the same problem.
Maybe it has something to do with migrating the data from the zima-HD to another?
I did that and after that in the bios the SSD to whom I migrated the data is marked as the boot-device. If I chage that I can boot into the system. But if the power is off for sometime I have to go into the bios again. This way it isn’t possible to run the zimablade headless.
Right… because the settings aren’t being saved. The CMOS battery has no function on this board—BIOS update, maybe?
As soon as you shut down your Zimablade and disconnect the power supply, all settings are lost. Nice if ZimaOS* requires UEFI… not!
*non-EUFI is default on Zimablade (and Zimaboard).

Really? What is it for then? That doesn’t make any sense. This screams for an update of the BIOS!

Is that thing that dumb??? I just unplugged the power to get back to BIOS to enable VT-d, but then noticed I lost my grub config as I installed Proxmox on an SSD to avoid to put it on the emmc. Now the only thing I can do is boot in the default CasaOS and I am unable to get back to my Proxmox setup!
Is there a way to:
- Fix that issue?
- Prevent that does not occur on any power failure?
Ehhh… Restore the boot order?
