However, as was one of the thread participants, I was getting a fatal trap 12 when I enabled APIC. Just so I could tell myself I'd tried everything, I changed the APIC mode from "Full Table Mapped" (I had had 4.7 installed and running properly set that way) to "Full Table". To my surprise, it worked beautifully! System: Compaq Proliant 1500 (E12) Dual P-133 SMART Array Controller firmware revision 2.26 5 4.3GB SCSI drives
