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).

cause "weird issues" as described above?
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.
