I've only seen this behavior twice.

Once was when I was compiling something and I didn't have enough swap.
It was a long time ago and I can't remember what it was, but it forced
me into using a swapfile until I got it built.

The second time was when I had a ram module going bad. I didn't know it
was flaky at the time and it passed memtest. But it finally started
locking during boot. It failed memtest after it reached that stage.
After replacing it the first thing I did was build a kernel. It worked
just fine from then on.
