Exception 6 is Invalid Opcode. This usually means that ES:EIP is
pointing to data or to garbage (stack error?). It could mean that
you're not at the right privilege level for the specific instruction at
CS:EIP.

it can. It does store a few abouts about the type of boot that occurred
(fallback or normal).

What's exception 6? I don't recall.
sometimes clocking info is stored in CMOS. There could be a collision
here.
If you can tell more it would be good to know.
