Highly deadly.

Your disk is dropping bits, or, more likely, your RAM. This is very, very bad.

Can you compile 100 kernes without error?

if it was 2.2 I'd believe it. 2.4 is still showing these kind of problems in software on many VIA chipset athlon boards and under extreme loads on other boxes too.

Are you running with a Buslogic SCSI card? 2.4.x (x < 3 - pre something) has a problem with them. I was seeing exactly these sorts of errors before I went to 2.4.3 pre-8.

Later,
