It most likely means that you need to test your memory, and your cabling.
memtest-x86.bin in the /images directory of your CD can be run
by booting the CD then hitting F1 at the splash screen and typing "rescue"
without the quotes. Then from the command line
./mnt/cdrom/images/memtest-x86.bin
If you can specify your hardware, there may be other suggestions that could
be given.
