Why? Failure of a DIMM bank did no more allow to launch amd64. Removed
the faulty slots, amd64 could be launched and the system seemed to be
in order. Filled the empty bank with fresh DDR1 ECC, the total memory
increased correspondingly. Again, it was now possible to carry out
sophisticated chemical calculations.

I'd reinstall the whole system.

For an ati fglrx driver module missing?

Seems like overkill.

The ATI driver loves to crash/segfault if anything displeases it (like
running 8bit colour mode, which some versions default to).

If the problem is just an unloaded module, that's one thing. But one corrupted file is an indication that other files could be corrupted, too.
