No, but it's either bad hardware or bad software. :-)  (or bad karma...)

Seriously- if it's bad software, a re-install will fix it. Then again, if
the disk is bad, an fsck on the root partition from sash should either fix
it, or at least let you know where the problem lies.

There's an easy way to test for bad RAM. one of the kconfig parameters
tells A/UX how much physical memory to use. Try setting it to 8MB or so
and see if you can boot that way. (From sash, type 'kconfig -av' to get
an annotated listing of kconfig params.)
