If that's related to insufficient memory, "linux mem=32M" at the boot

Yeah, that sounds more like it.
My own suspect (backed by absolutely nothing) is that there is some
buffer overflow or memory corruption in isofs detection.
Jeremy Utley had an idea. He suggested that maybe a binary used during
boot got compiled for i686 and when someone uses an older system (like
all the reports have been it seems) it is failing. Sounds at least like
a possibility. All my testing was done on i686 machines.
