That's unlikely. I ran memtest86, and got no error. I removed the memory
extention and it still failed. I ran it only with the memory extention, once
again it failed. Other people, even on this very mailing-list, have
described those problems a while ago.
Maybe I should add that this problem occurs when detecting the Firewire
devices. Is there a way to start a kernel without loading the firewire
manager? Once the system is installed, I know what to do...

Anyway, thank you John.
