 It made several dumps, but I can't locate them. (I've historically
 been a Linux person so I have no idea where they go.) I haven't had a
 recurrence since going without a DIMM.

 ^-- That is my latest dmesg. (The mount-related messages at the end
 are because of a power failure.)

 >  I'm wondering if you're using a Sil3112 or the like?
 I have two IDE devices on two IDE buses on an ICH2.

 >  You can't be sure to have working memory just by successfully passing the POST phase. Please check your RAM using something like memtest86, first (assuming you're running x86 hardware as your report is not clear if you're seeing this on sparc or on x86).
 You're correct. Unfortunately, unless it's on the boot floppies I
 can't run memtest86. (There is a gaping double-height
 5.25"-form-factor hole in this computer's case where optical drives
 should be.)

 >  Also please check if the error appearance changes when swapping RAM modules.
 Changing the arrangement of the three DIMMs in the three slots didn't
 change anything about the problem. However, any arrangement with only
 two DIMMs (leaving a slot open) seems to work perfectly.
