Given that os2krnl is on the order of 900KB or so, saying you had a trap E
is sort of like saying it's broke. You need to write down the trap
registers or use one of the available tools to read the trap screen from
the 1st diskette of a trap dump. See:

Getting an exception in vdma and or vkbd is rather odd. These are virtual
device drivers. I would suspect hardware, but I guess a sufficiently
farkled OS/2 could do this.

Have you run any memory diagnostics lately. Memtest86:

has worked well for a number of folks.
