Thanks Vojtech and Mark, this is good to know and gives
me more confidence messing around with this box... er,
not that i'd stop in any case...

The funny thing still is that i get this error regardless
of whether i overclock, underclock, or leave as is using
kernel 2.5.2-pre1, when i start X:

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dynamic-link.h: 62: elf_get_dynamic_info: Assertion `! "bad dynamic tag"' failed!

X eventually starts, minus the Sawfish window manager.

Everything's fine from kernel version 2.5.1 down.  If it
is indeed disk corruption of some kind, i guess i better 
run an older kernel and fsck.
