A _memory error_ can be ruled out, but what about a bad disk, bad
disk controller, bad PCI bus interface, a bad driver, etc. Memory is
just one piece of hardware that can result in bad data being read
from or written to disk. Is there any indication of disk or driver
errors in your syslog?

Cheers,
