There is no OS known that touching a BIOS. A OS does READ the BIOS. So yes, 
maybe you need to replace CMOS backup battery.

Also, on a old mainboard i have just 1 HDD set in bios, rest of the 3 HDD's 
are not set. Still any kind of Linux does see all the drives. So maybe Linux 
does not read BIOS at all.

Good luck.
