It does appear that I have an nVidia card (it is mentioned in the XFree86 log) NV5M64 [TIVA TNT2 Model 64]. I just installed RC1 from a CD on a fresh HD, and I did not do anything unusual (like d/l binary drivers &c) > Has the RAM in this machine happily worked with other OSes?

I have had this box for 2 years, always running RH - first it was 8, then 9, now RC1. No complaints until last fall. Last Fall (I mentally connect this with transition from RH9 to FC1) it started "acting funny": I can no longer build CLISP (segfault on first GC) and Emacs (segfault on unexec). Recently HD failed and I hoped that the new HD will fix the problem, but this did not happen. I am completely lost as to what the cause could be. > Have you looked in your logs for strange events? no, what should I look for? > Does sound work okay? yes. > What kind of CPU is it?
