m2-225-11 rebooted (spontaneously, as far as i can tell) and hung during
package verification after printing the message

memory.c: 84: bad pmd 000000001

(not quite sure how many 0's were there.)

i rebooted it.  it went some way through the boot sequence (even past
the package verification,) then started repeated printing 

LILO boot:
Loading linux..................

i think (and memtest86 confirms) this machine has faulty memory.

hth.
