You may have become a victim of a sash bug which makes the firmware report used memory as free memory and in the end results in the kernel overwriting itself. The solution is easy; don't use sash. This means you either have to boot the kernel via ``bootp() -f ...'' from the network or you use IRIX's dvhtool to write it into the volume header, then boot it from the kernel prompt by just entering the kernel name.
