Linux 2.4.17 problem.

Hi, im running slackware with the kernel 2.4.17, when I tar -zxvf a big file, ie. hlds_l_3108_full.tar.gz.

It cuts off saying format violated..
This is an amd 1.4ghz with 768 mbram 41gb 7200rpm harddrive (brand new stuff)

Those are the errors I get at dmesg and a lot of those on the console at the physical address. This is supposed to be a production server, it was messing up but somehow I fixed it with this new drive and it had no problems for about 1 month until I tried to untar this file, then I tried rm'ing it after it did not untar correctly and it just gave me a seg. fault. I also ran lmbench and that's where the last 2 errors came from and now the box is locked up pending reboot from the datacenter. Im sure somebody has gotten this type of problem before and I'd appreciate it if they could let me know or redirect me to a place where I can find a fix for it, it's becoming annoying and it should be doing it's job, being a server.

Would you run those through ksymoops and repost?

The box is currently down, I will repost the output tommarow, sorry.

The box is back up, someone rebooted for me from the location.

Also this is an asus a7v133 motherboard with an athlon 1.4ghz, just curious to see if others have these sorts of problems. Also forgot to add this:

EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,1)): ext2_free_blocks: bit already cleared for block 7942458

Got that while rm'ing a 100meg file as root.
