test your ram&control your cpu-cooling. Often segfaults are a sign for bad
hardware/cooling probs.

I can run memtest86. My cpu is currently running at 47C .. not what I
necessarily would consider out of control, but maybe I'm wrong...

'currently' it does not compile, right?
How far goes the temp, when you do cpu-heavy stuff (and do not forget, that
the numbers are not correct. They are good to see a trend, but I would not
bet on them)?

And, yes, you should run memtest86, at least for some hours.

A good majorit of the time segfaults mean hat you have hardware trouble.
I would recommend running something like memtest86 (can be found on the
newer Knoppix LiveCDs). Also, is your cooling OK? Are you overclocking?
Overclocking is bad, especially for a system where most pretty much
everything is compiled, as compilation is very resource-intensive.

You are using mm-sources ?
These kernels caused segfault for me.

ran memtest and no errors reported. I wasn't necessarily overclocking but
the default was for a 100 FSB. Since my CPU is 333, I set my clock to 166.
So I have downed it back to default and giving that a try.

What do you mean by mm sources?

From which stage you are installing? In case of stage2 or 3, are you
sure that you downloaded the right stage .tar.bz2 for your architecture.
