Only this is not kernel but clearly mkinitrd going south so
'rpm -qf /sbin/nash' likely would be much more interesting/relevant.
Oh, and 'rpm -qf --last /sbin/nash' too.

Maybe an output from 'sh -x /sbin/mkinitrd -v -f \
/tmp/initrd-2.6.23.14-107.fc8.img 2.6.23.14-107.fc8'
would have something revealing in it?  Redirect both stdout
and stderr when saving to a file.  Keep in mind that when
SIGSEGV happens you are still running the previous kernel.

OTOH I have now around two x86_64 and two i386 machines running
2.6.23.14-107.fc8 and none showed problems of that sort.
