The issue is probably not the drive or Edubuntu, but rather the RAM. I booted with Knoppix and ran a memtest. On the second pass it discovered an error. Don't know if that's the problem, but it can't be good. I'll try to isolate which chip has the error, remove that chip, and then see if the error still occurs.
