Can you reproduce the problem if you boot from a livecd? That could
help settle the question of whether your problems are rooted in
hardware or software.
Would it? I must access the disk and use the RAM, so wouldn't the
results be identical provided that the same kernel is used?
If not, do you have any particular livecd in mind?
I was thinking that *all* the software should be different, including the
kernel. If you still experience they same segfaults then that would point to a
hardware problem.
Use a livecd that may other people have tested on similar hardware. I've heard
people recommend Kanotix for x86_64. There is a livecd list that can be
filtered by architecture here: http://www.livecdlist.com/.
