SunVTS:Unable to read pointer to memlist structure

I have a problem with an E220R, 2x360MHz, 1GB RAM.

We use this as a netbackup media server. We also have about 2TB of IDE
RAID for local staging of files to be backed up. There are 2 900GB UFS
filesystems running with logging turned on.

Last weekend, the machine started crashing. /var/adm/messages said that
the ufs log for the two big filesystems was changes to an "error"
state. So we fscked them both; one came up fine, the other had sopme
errors but fsck allegedly cleared them up. Remounted them, and the same
thing happened.

We suspected the IDE RAID, but we decided to run VTS just to be sure.
CPU turned out fine, but the kmemtest and pmemtest reports on the first
pass that "Unable to read pointer to memlist structure".

Any idea what's happening? I googled this and came up with very little,
and Sun's answerbook was no help either.

Thanks in advance, and of course, I'll summarize....
