I just updated jdk 1.4 twice on two computers in the last couple of 
days, so the port is working (at least in my case :).  The kind of error 
you're getting sounds like a memory or filesystem error.  Try running 
some diagnostics, such as memtest86+ (or some other memory tester), to 
make sure.  The ultimate boot cd at http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ has a 
good collection of diagnostic tools.  Also, if you have the processing 
time, try again.  If it dies with a similiar message in a different 
module you are probably dealing with hardware issues.

HTH,
