 I tried adding the nopti kernel parameter today, in particular, to the
default entry, and it seemed to work, though at least once, it didn't
work, but perhaps I did something wrong.

In an attempt to remove that variability, I made changes to permanently
apply the nopti parameter, and that has been working consistently, on
all 5 machines it was failing on.

Those 5 machines experiencing the problem (all of them i386), were:

Dell GX240

Dell GX260

Dell GX270

MacBook (1,1) 32-bit

HP-Mini

Anyway, applying the 'nopti' kernel parameter in a persistent way,
appears to have solved the problem.
