I agree with kpanic about the 'segmentation fault'. Sometimes, on rare occasions, this fault is due to bad memory. It wouldn't hurt to due a memory test.
If memory is good, although linux die-hards hate to, this may be one of those time when a wipe and fresh install is the quickest way to get past this problem. It would be an opportunity to upgrade to LL 4. The machine I am using at this moment is an AMD A4-3300 with 2Gb of ram and LL 4 (64 bit) runs fine on it.
