For trap 0008 errors, try the following:
o
See Retain
Tip #H083121, Section C for several known causes of Trap 0008 Errors.
o
Ensure the installed memory
is the correct speed for the system board.
o
If
during installation, REM out BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD in the CONFIG.SYS on the
installation diskette.
o
Definitely
check RETAIN for similar errors. A large number of Trap 0008 errors are
caused by bugs in OS/2 or other components, such as NTS/2, Netware Requester
for OS/2, CM/2, etc.
o
Check
hardware. Trap 0008 errors can sometimes be caused by hardware problems.
o
Check for IRQ conflicts.
o
If the error occurs every
time within the same application and CHKDSK doesn't correct the problem,
contact the software developer for further assistance.
