I have RH70 on Compaq EP with Intel 810 AGP video. Sometimes when I'm switching between VTs (text <-> X) the Xserver dies with signal 11 shortly after switch from text to X. I've tried XFree86 v4.0.1a and also v4.0.2-11 from Rawhide, both crashed. I've tried i686 glibc v2.1.x (default rh70) and now v2.2-12 (updates). I have 192MB RAM and 200MB swap. Steps to reproduce (sometimes) 1.Launch X, run some apps (netscape, mozilla, xterm) 2.Work som time (maybe it depends on memory usage or time runnig X). 3.Repeat switching to text VT and back to X ... and Xserver crashes Xserver output: XFree86 Version 4.0.2 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400) Release Date: 18 December 2000 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.

Check your settings in BIOS and mem statement in lilo.conf, I was getting similar problems (see bug # 20571)
Yes, this appears to be a BIOS configuration issue. Also, the missing symbols errors provided above have been fixed in 4.0.3-21. It will be available sometime soon.
