What causes a kernel trap 0x00000008 ?

That's the Double Panic- the kernel panics while panicing.

It can be caused by corrupt driver code, but is more likely to be bad ram (or bad CPU, motherboard- anything that causes a bad instruction to get to the cpu).

I'm also running into this issue. I'm getting the following error message;

The instruction at "0x635ed461" referenced memory at "0x00000008". The memory could not be "written".

followed by;

The instruction at "0x63638176" referenced memory at "0x00000130". The memory could not be "read".

Any suggestions?

There's no magic: it's either bad hardware or a bad driver. If nothing has changed in the OS and it has sprung up, it is almost certainly hardware. See the advice at http://aplawrence.com/Unixart/trape.html

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
