How much memory do you have and what chipset / controller are you using?

There are some controllers that claim to do DMA to 64-bit addresses
but don't actually support it, which causes errors on machines with >
4gb of memory. The SB600 is one example.

If it is bad memory that has somehow passed memtest, swapping the
memory for known good (preferably ECC) memory is one option to
diagnose it.
