A Trap 12 occurs when the kernel attempts to access a memory address that does not fall within its address space. This would occur if a pointer to a subroutine or memory block was corrupted. This is why I keep quoting the 'Fault virtual address' since that's the memory address the kernel tried to access. On the batch with 3.1, it's usually really low, like < 0x10000. The kernel loads in at that memory address, so nothing should be going lower than that. > At this point we will try to install on another machine with 3.1 and > see where we go.

We put 3.1 on a P3/500 and it has certain nuances. > > > > Fatel trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode > > > > fault virtual address = 0xefc00000 > > > > > > I'm getting tired of this. > > > > > > Use 2.2.8.
