Funny thing is, I've tried using different memory (a newer DIMM, and
some old SIMMs) and get the same error regardless. Is there some weird
BIOS setting I'm missing (it's an FIC VA-503+, if that helps), or is it
just hosed?
Thanks,

Humm. I have a few of those fic mobos too. If the memory itself is good,
there still could be be a chip or something on the motherboard is causing
memory problems. You might try memcheck x86, I don't have a link for it
here. It boots off of a floppy and burns through the memory running a series
of write, read and compares with different bit patterns.
See if anything else runs correctly on the machine, run through a windows
install if you have one of their cds or you could try a NIC's diagnostic
diskette.... just something to show whether it happens only under
debian/linux or not.
You could try another hd and/or cable, does the problems begin more or less
right away or only after its copied a lot of stuff to the hd, or starts
reading from the disk?
