Re: [LinuxBIOS] What's stored in the CMOS by LB?

[Goodrich,Steven]

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.
