I was the same behaviour (suddenly no executable worked, even the scripts stoped woking, saying syntax error, etc...); i could not even reboot cleanly, had to hit the reset button. After that, on fsck massive filesytem corruption, I think some bad sectors were marked (the disks are good). The solution for now for me is to use a uniprocessor kernel or a smp kernel on the mboard's controller (ata33) ;(...
hope this helps, dragos
