This is rawhide, reproducible with md5sum, memtest86 runs clean; 
however, the same problem occurs when booted into another distro.  So, I 
downloaded again to a newly formatted single ext3 partition and sha1sum 
matches.  Therefore, I believe there is either a hardware problem with 
one of the drives that is providing a PV for the LV the problem .iso 
lies on, or there is a problem with lvm2. Will try some other tricks.

Thanks for the suggestions!!
