OK

I read all the messages and turned off all of the caches, shadow RAM, and anything
else I could find in the CMOS setups that didn't seem to be necessary.

I disconnected the SCSI card which runs the INSITE 20 meg floptical (and some people
have said that this is INCOMPATIBLE with OS/2 anyway).

I diconnected the ethernet network card.

I have a PLAIN 486dx33 with 3 VESA local bus slots (AMI BIOS, 1992).

I have a Diamond Speedstar Pro VESA 1 Meg video card.

I have 8 Megs of RAM (all the same speed, 80 ns).

I have two IDE hard disks, with a Multi I/O + IDE controller card.

I DO NOT have Windows installed on my hard disk (we use a network version).

Then, I get the error message, with trap address values, as follows:
________________________________________________________________________

Internal Revision 6.514  93/04/12

_________________________________________________________________________

(The text in this message is probably not verbatim, but the numbers
come up the same, time and time again.)

Any help would be appreciated (and yes, I have faxed IBM support, but have
not had any reply from them yet.)

I tend to agree with the guy who had had immense problems with his OS/2 setup:
is it worth it?

I Have a similar setup (486DX2-66, 3 VLB, AMI BIOS 11/11/92, UMC CHipset,
8 MB RAM 70ns, 2 IDE Hard drives) and i couldn't install OS/2 because of
TRAPS and SYS messages. However, i did solve my problem :).

My solution, was to turn on the AUTO CONFIG option in the Advanced CMOS
Settings. Give this a try. It just may work. Now , if i could only get
OS/2 to install properly using a VLB IDE Controller....... (I can
succesfully install using an ISA IDE Controller)

I had a trap e on the same location (that location might as well be a 
common trap jump point so that it don't us really much, but anyhow) and 
I solved it by loosing up my memory waitstates a bit. I had tweaked them
to the limit in my DOS days (27 fps in 3dbench on my 486/33 :) , but it
was to much for OS/2. I sat my AMI bios to auto config, and the trap 
went away. Also remember that OS/2 don't like 'faster' IDE speed. Keep it
to 8Mhz. 
Trap d is (from the faq):    000D           General protection 

[My speculation] If I remember right is it common for device drivers that 
are porly written/can't keep up with the system.
Good luck.

Okay, I have turned off all my shadowing, caching, made my machine have
16Meg of memory and still  my machine hangs when installing 2.1, Can
anyone help me?

Hardware:
	ami bios
	16 meg of memory (took out 4 meg to make it 16 meg).
	486DX2/33 with localbus
	1542B scsi
	2 300meg HP scsi disk drives

(i also more hardware but removed it for installing, cause i had so
much trouble).

Also I have installed os2 on the same mother board, same chip, but
with an ide interface.
