I ran badblocks (all night). There were none. It's a SCSI disk and it requires chunks of DMA RAM for each write. The machine just croaks when it gets low on RAM and tries to write to SCSI swap which requires RAM.
In some other post you said that you were writing past the end of the partition or disk.
If the disk is fine and you have reproducible errors then the first thing to check is whether your partition table is correct, whether your swap signature is correct, whether the total size of the disk is recognized correctly at boot time.
I just executed `mkswap` on both of my swap partitions. The original swap partitions were created using very early tools. I will now try to see if I get the same error, but I can't do it now because I need a "work-break".
