I've had these problems. Strange thing is after lots of messing
around, I can get my machine working with PC100 RAM but not PC133
RAM... PC133 causes the 8.1 installer to fail with lots of memory
errors and caused a number of oopses with the kernel (random things,
no one particular way to crash it).
I'm pretty sure my motherboard is hosed and that is the problem (here
at least), so it could very well be a RAM or motherboard issue for him
as well. It's really wierd (or 2.4.8 is ultra sensitive to the
hardware somehow, but I doubt that's it).
The reason I think this is I even tried installing 8.0 and got errors
during install there as well when before it worked fine. And as soon
as I put PC100 RAM in there (despite BIOS being set to 133),
everything cleared up.
