No. I didn't see a real failures. This issue arises if Int 0x15 AX=E820
fails. In this case AX=0xe801, AX=e881 used as fallback to workaround
this. I see this in linux kernel, isolinux, grub. Windows behavior is
pretty same. Our Virtual Machine's BIOS uses CMOS for getting memory
size.
Probably DOS and memory extenders may not work properly.
