Highly deadly.

Your disk is dropping bits, or, more likely, your RAM. This is very,
very bad.

Can you compile 100 kernes without error?

Are you running with a Buslogic SCSI card? 2.4.x (x < 3 - pre something)
has a problem with them. I was seeing exactly these sorts of errors before
I went to 2.4.3 pre-8.

Later,
Dale

if it was 2.2 I'd believe it. 2.4 is still showing these kind of problems in
software on many VIA chipset athlon boards and under extreme loads on other
boxes too.
