Here's the dmesg(1) dump from Ubuntu 6.10 on my R3000Z (output from 
lshw(8) indicates an R3200 DP533AV as the product ID, motherboard has 
product ID of "08A0", v32.42):

Yet I'm not having any problems whatsoever.  My kernel boot line is

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-11-generic root=/dev/hda3 ro quiet splash

You can see which version of the kernel I'm running, I guess. :)  I'm 
running the F.35 firmware (which will have an impact on the ACPI data 
that the BIOS is storing, I think).

Based on the symptoms you describe, I would almost guess a memory 
problem.  You might try using a live CD and running the memory test 
(Ubuntu, Knoppix, and Fedora have memtest86, I think?).  If not, Google 
for "memtest86+.bin", then add the following to 
your /boot/grub/menu.lst:

> title           memtest86+
> root            (hd0,2)
> kernel          /boot/memtest86+.bin

Of course, you'll need to adjust the "root" line to be the same as your 
other "root" lines.  And be sure to put the downloaded file into /boot 
(again, as you would expect from the excerpt).

If you'd like a copy of my entire dmesg(1) output, send me a personal 
email.
