Well, maybe same as some problems I have had with EB164.
Things to check:
SROM's on some machines don't recognise RAM properly. Does SRM or MILO see
right amount of RAM?
Bad cache can show up in mysterious ways, as well. Only way to check this is
to change it (not so easy, as it is a very special part).

I do know that after fighting with an EB164 very much like yours, it is now
running, with 256MB RAM, 512MB of swap, and kernel 2.0.24, and is quite
happy so far. Only thing else really different is that it is running a
300MHz clock, and an NCR53c810 narrow scsi.
