  There were some VM bugs fixed shortly after 2.2.5....

  Can you try a "make buildworld" on another machine, then "installworld"
it on the troubled machine?  I do this around here, as I have a half-dozen
machines to upgrade, but it also has advantange of being quite a bit
faster.  An "installworld" only takes 30 minutes over ethernet.
