The hardware is fine. Period. I do not have time to record the
history of this, but I do thank you for your response.

If you do a search for this 'bad page state' issue, you will find
some (though not many) references to it. It applied to specific
kernels, as noted in the originl post.



that one kernel works harder than another. So defects show much
more on the former.

However, you really should investigate your hardware. Progressively
increasing errors are extremely worrysome. Power supplies and

Agreed. The post was not done in order to help diagnose the problem;
the root cause still remains unknown: either the kernels were at fault,
or the kernels merely brought out fickle h/w issues.
The 'bad page state' issue has been tackled elsewhere, presumably in
the kernel list. I did not aim to delve into that.

The post was done for archival purposes, only, so that it may be of help
to someone getting the same error messages.
