Anyway, the output from rpm -Va shows no sign of my system being compromised. also check that your cooling fans are working, and that the case vents are not clogged. I suspect a cooling problem, but that should show up in windows more then Linux, or a memory problem. Memory problems tend to show up more in Linux then in windows because Linux tends to use all memory. I looked at the recently redhat kernel update package (released last week, 2.2.19). It said it fixes minor problem in virtual memory. I wonder if this means that my kernel (2.2.17, also from redhat updated) is having this virtual memory problem that causes any program to segmentation fault randomly. Here is the gdb -c core output. As far as I remember it doesn't matter what program segmentation fault, the output of gdb -c core is always (I have checked at least more than 50 of them). Core was generated by `lynx'.

never ending segmentation fault problem on redhat 6.2
Hi, I am running redhat 6.2 with kernel-2.2.17-14 (from redhat updated kernel). For the past few weeks, I've been experiencing segmentation fault problem and it got really bad over the weekend. The segmentation fault problem I am talking about has nothing to do with any local program we have here. It just occurs when we run some simple unix command, like ls, man, pine, etc. Anyone knows why this happens? My first suspicion is these commands either have been compromised or corrupted, but then again sometimes they just run fine. My next suspicion is there may be some bad spot on the memory, but again I did some heavy running jobs under windows and it ran fine too. If there is bad memory spot, one of these process should have hit it and die already I think. (The jobs I gave windows to run were big enough to eat up my tiny 64M of memory and more for sure.) Another note, I eventually reboot the linux system (today) and it seems that after reboot, this segmentation fault problem doesn't occur as often. I wonder as time goes on, it may resurface again. Any suggestion on what I should do now? Thanks Jimmy ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

This means that a sector was not ready correctly (or not found), this
could be a bad sector on the device (hd or cd) or just some corrupt
I have also seen similar messages when either the drive is starting to
fail, or the HD controller on the main board is starting to flake.
And in this case, it's probably a CD-ROM drive. I'd check the disk for
scratches, and if you're trying to dd something off the disk, verify you're
using the correct blocksize. If all that checks out, try using another
disk; if you get the same errors, your CD-ROM may be in need of repair/
replacement.
Another possibility is flaky power supply to the drive or bad connection
between the IDE cable and the drive. At least that is what happened to my
computer. Everytime this happened, I just open the computer and push the
connector firmly and the problem goes away.

Re: 4.72 (was: rant F****ng fed up with Netscape 4.6x!)
I have java and javascript turned off and netscape 4.71 or 4.72 doesn't crash on java-related site. However, my complain with netscape 4.71 is this. It sometimes (seems randomly) will go into this cpu-hungry mode and consume the cpu at nearly 100% for several minutes (usually 3 minutes or more). During this period, I can't scroll, click or do anything at all with it. The whole page just goes blank. After that, everything is normal again.
