Yup. We might have a boot disk for the machine somewhere, but I don't know
where it is. Our primary sysadmin is not in today, and I'm more or less
the next person responsible for our machines.

It mounts the root partition read-only, then prints that it freed XX kb of
kernel memory, then prints the init shared library error message.

The library that's missing is from some cygnus program, judging from the
directory reported by the error message. I don't think it's a system
library that's missing, which makes this even more frustrating.

I don't think this is possible seeing that it's a library not distributed
with RedHat.
Thanks for the suggestions, though. I'm open to anything else.
