I have a new Redhat 9 system that sometimes gives problems at shutdown time. If this happens it will not boot up again beyond the "Interactive mode Y/N" point. (nasty!) At shutdown I get TERM signal then /etc/rc.d/rc: line 68 18723 segmentation fault egrep -q "(killproc | action)" $i. Sometimes shutdown works fine.
I wonder if it is related to remote X logins or webmin? Any advice welcome - Sandy

You have some bad RAM. Change out your RAM and that should solve your problem.

Eventually this PC stopped working. Ram was removed and replaced again (same RAM) the system has been working for 10 days perfectly. Thanks
PS with 4 x 512Mb RAM the BIOS can only see 3.8Gb is this usual?
