Hi Mike,
Unlike hlds, srcds's debug log appears to be next to useless -- it gives me a record of what I'd just typed into console, dumps a core, and tells me it aborted.
Running the ./srcds_amd binary directly was more useful. That helped me track down a few obvious problems (which didn't occur at all on FC2 i386). After changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH to look in srcds/bin and srcds/cstrike/bin, and updating the PATH to look in cstrike for the chatterbox stuff, it stopped returning any errors except the original. e.g.:
Console initialized. Attempted to create unknown entity type event_queue_saveload_proxy! Game .dll loaded for "Counter-Strike: Source" *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xf7fc9460 *** ./srcds_run: line 342: 2370 Aborted (core dumped) $HL_CMD etc...

It stems from many things, but mainly my dislike for Linux altogether (I much prefer FreeBSD).
Like I said, try running the srcds with the -debug parameter to see what errors it will output. This will be much more helpful to you in identifying exactly what the problem is.
