Fatal Trap 10: trace trap while in vm86 mode, trying to boot install CD after menu

[Peter G]

trying to install 6.1 on a bunch of blade servers, P4
3.06Ghz w/ 2GB RAM

SEARCHED THRU ALL THE ARCHIVES AND MAIL LISTS for ANY
similar happenings and there are NO valuable clues..

Tried installing Fbsd 6.1, 6.0 and even a hard drive
that had 5.4 pre-installed

same result always AFTER the boot menu, (picked ACPI
disabled and no diff)

Fatal Trap 10: trace trap while in vm86 mode

They ran Linux just fine..
is there something about Hyperthreading or something
that   makes these hang??

i also tried to do this in the boot loader prompt
after the boot menu w/ no better results:
set hw.hasbrokenint12=1

any clues appreciated as to what i should lookit
next..
