If it was really BIOS-e801 and not BIOS-88 returning this, looks like this is probably a kernel bug in the parsing of the results.

Enter these instructions using the A command and execute with the T command:
mov AX, E801
INT 15
INT 3
And provide the results of the AX, BX, CX, and DX registers after the INT 15h.
