rpm segmentation fault (kernel 2.6.6-1.398)

I tried --rebuilddb, but got another segmentation fault.  I noticed
problems after installing arjanv's 2.6.6-1.406.  The rpm install of the 
kernel actually locked up my machine once.  I rebooted, installed the rpm 
again, and booted it, after getting a couple of halts, I defaulted back to 
running 2.6.6-1.398.
