It points to a timing problem most often either the cache has a slow chip
in it, or your memory is not really performing at the 60nS speed.  It can
also be caused by a wrong voltage setting for the CPU chip (there is a five
digit code ``SXxxx'' stamped on the top and bottom of your CPU chip, get
that to me and I will tell you the correct setting for the CPU voltage).

c-a-d before init runs is an unstable thing, does /sbin/reboot consistently
work?  Does c-a-d consistently work when booted from a DOS floppy?
