Someone said check your memory, a possablity, more information from you as to
just how much memory you had and now have would help more, which kernel
version, what hardware??.
You could use "gdb" The GNU debugger to try to find out what is causing the
segfaults, gdb is not so difficult to use, it might point you the right
direction.
As to memory, i have a patch here which checks memory twice at boottime, it
was written for kernel 2.0.34 (if i remember correctly), but i have patched
it to 35 and now 36pre6 succesfullly. If you require it let me know.
