Working on a Tyan 5382 system equipped with Debian 6.0.1 AMD64.
After inserting a common USB-based flash drive into a USB port I
attempted to raw write a bootable amd64 image generated with
live-build:
dd if=binary.img of=/dev/sdb
where /dev/sdb is the device name assigned to the USB flash drive.

The kernel error messages indicate memory corruption. Could be
a hardware or software error.
Have you seen other crashes on this system recently?
No. This is a stable development box I've been using for several years
without issue.
Until I installed 6.0.1 AMD64 a couple days ago it was most recently
running Debian 6.0.0 i386 with no issues, and I was doing the same dd
operation on that architecture. The problem only appeared when I
attempted that operation under 6.0.1 AMD64.
Can you test the RAM using the memtest86+ package?
Ran it for an hour or so, no errors noted. Physical memory is ECC, by
the way.
