I had the same problem on m68k about a year ago and was never able to
track it down. As soon as one copied an image greater 500+ MB of size
the kernel would go crazy and would end with:
AIEEE: scheduling in interupt

If you have a second comp and a nullmodem, try to use a serial console 
and a minicom on the other side. Then you can log the minicom buffer
and look at the kernel messages afterwards.

May the Source be with you.

PS: Does the memory test of the various bios's clear the memory during
boot? If not, one could have a static buffer with the messages from
the last crash.
