[sylvan dacounha]

Hi All,
   
  in my earlier mail i had mentioned that i am not able to boot redhat 
linux 9 cause it gives segmentation error
   
  here is the complete list of error messages
   
  Welcome to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 70: 34 Segmentation Fault  
LC_ALL=C grep -q "RED HAT" /etc/redhat_release
   
  Press ' I ' to enter interactive startup
   
  Mounting proc filesystem                           OK
   
  /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 90: 41 Segmentation fault LC_ALL=C grep-q 
/initrd/proc/mounts
   
  Setting Clock                                          OK
   
  Loading default keymap(US)                     OK

  Setting Hostname XXXX                            OK
   
  /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 182: 65 segmentation fault LC_ALL=C grep 
-iq "nousb" /proc/cmdline 2 > /dev/null
   
  /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 182:67 segmentation fault LC_ALL = C grep 
-q "usb" /proc/devices2 > /dev/null
   
  n then the system hangs
        
  if i boot in in rescue mode n run the grep command it gives me 
segmentation fault. but i can see all the partitions being mounted and accessable

   
  Now i try to reintsall Linux 9 from CDS n everthing goes fine untill the screen where it try to install packages ...
   
  on the screen i see installin packages
   
  package kernel-BOOT-2.4.20.8 
   
  the scroll moves and the package is finshed and then jus stops no other package name is dispalyed . the system jus hangs
