The LinuxBIOS boot doesn't always work for me 100%. Sometimes I get Exception 6 in LB itself (causing a halt), other times, the Kernel has an Exception 6, or it can't find the hard drive.
Here's the weird part: I flip back to the factory BIOS, it says "CMOS checksum invalid, using defaults". I hit DEL, save the settings to CMOS, and power down. I flip back to LB, and all of a sudden, it's working fine for a while. The kernel is a stock Ubuntu kernel with initrd that always works with the stock BIOS + grub loading.
1) Does LB store anything in the CMOS? 2) If yes, is there anything in there that could become corrupted and cause "weird issues" as described above? 3) If no, any other guesses?

P.S>> I haven't had any issues since I got VGA working, but I've only powered up the machine twice since that flashing.
