2.6.26: broken padding, no cpio magic, crc error

My new computer (about 2 weeks old) started freezing out of nowhere the other day right after I installed flashplayer-beta and kernel 2.6.26.

I hard-rebooted it yesterday after this happened and it would only panic on boot. There were three errors at the point where the real kernel takes over: broken padding, no cpio magic, and crc error. I reinstalled/Syu-ed using my old Voodoo disc (for some reason, the Overlord disc doesn't work for me... computer reboots) and rebooted.

I've had to do that twice so far. That leads me to believe that it may be a kernel/initrd problem, but there's a possiblity that it may be RAM-related. My motherboard and RAM are *slightly* incompatible and I've received errors on memtest #7 as a result. I RMA-ed the memory today, so we'll see how that goes once I receive the definitely-compatible sticks.

Anyone else getting this error with the new kernel?
