Have you ruled out faulty hardware?  Do you get the same fault if you
run with the same disk on another machine?  (If not: Is this something
you can afford to test?)

If you can reproduce on other hardware and other installs, it's
probably best to go that way.  If it isn't reproducable I'd guess at a
hardware-dependent problem - that'll be much harder.  It might even be
just a single case of faulty hardware.
