This could be memory problems too. I had these errors both with the
Debian kernel and the FreeBSD kernel when there were 3-chip SIMMs in a
board that could only handle the 9-chip ones (a good old 386-40).
As this error happens while unpacking the kernel (not while loading
it) I strongly suggest setting the memory parameter in the BIOS setup
to the most conservative setting possible.

BTW: I sent a mail copy to avandor@intergate.bc.ca because I don't
know if he/she is reading this list.
