I've had this happen to me before (somewhere around 2.0.30, IIRC..), but
I can't remember the exact cause..  I think I had some extra memory that
was the wrong speed in my computer or something.  At any rate, I could
usually get the system to boot by doing a power-down, waiting a while,
and then trying it again..  Rebooting caused some corrupted memory or
something..

It's also possible that I had gone through a boot process similar to
this:

Boot DOS
Reboot to Linux
Reboot, get CRC error..

But as I said, I can't remember very clearly..
