Andy, I will try and reproduce the issue with log details. I had to get a heatsink replaced on the Northbridge on that box so it will be a day or so before I can finish the test. The 'emerency terminal' is the term mode available from the standard graphical boot (described on screen as an emergency access tool). I have installed several times on this box for testing in different modes and with different variations of RH4 or Fedora. In each case the errors only show up when using X, but since that is what I want to do on this box that is a bit moot. Since the error is only happening in a regular X session (terminal window or GUI wrapped yum), I have to assume it is likely a driver issue on the display adaptor. The error appears to be an actual segment fault thrown by yum as it runs - I will cut the message as soon as I can. The logs are not helpful (to me) at all in this case since they just show the end of the session, not a meaningful error. I am guessing this is one of those 'if I had not died I could have written the errror' situations. Thanks for the pointers - I will gather some more error codes and see what I can find.
