Sorry if I got the severity wrong.  :)

[2004-11-18@12:44:47] /usr/src -> md5sum kernel-source-2.6.9.tar.bz2
bfceb045bc0bd03e5f7af6844364260e  kernel-source-2.6.9.tar.bz2

md5sum is the same.  I didn't have debsums before; I have debsums now.

Using Debian mirror:

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

Redownloaded from the same source.  In the future I'll try different
sources.

I checked the bzip2 many times (-t).  It usually errors, but in
different spots.  I have run memtest86+ a few days ago and the RAM was
fine.  :-\  Maybe the disk is flaky.  I've been meaning to change to a
bigger drive; guess it'll be sooner rather than later.

Sorry for jumping the gun on this one.  :)  I'll have to assess my own
hardware.
