What the heck is a bus error?

You know..  These issues seem to me to be indicative of a hardware issue.
Maybe with your network card?  I'd try swapping the NIC, unless these
problems are happening with more than one client..

I have new information regarding the problems on the netbooting clients (NOT
my home computer); that's a different problem):

I managed to boot into runlevel 1, and found that I get periodic I/O errors
and "Stale NFS handle" errors.  I also have occasionally gotten error
messages that tell me that some random library file does not exist.  I found
that some of these errors were resolved by remounting (mount -o remount /),
but not all of them.

I recall that I used ReiserFS on every hard disk on my server except for the
root filesystem (it uses ext3fs).  I know that there are some known issues
with ReiserFS and NFS, but I thought that they were all resolved by kernel
2.4.7, and I'm using 2.4.9 on everything.

Any ideas?  The best idea I've come up with is to switch over to ext2 or
ext3 and see if that works.  I can do that, if I have to.
