I woul suspect that /lib is corrupt.
I had a similiar problem on a debian install with reiserfs while
testing for power outages.
Also afaik ext3 is less resilient than jfs.

In rescue mode, running grep gives a segfault. Lately, even running
mount gives a segfault. Mount was ok till yesterday.

From what I know, proc is mounted by the kernel on /proc. All that is
required is the existence of a proc directory in /. I suspect
something wrong with the kernel mechanism that mounts proc. I wanted
to build a new kernel, but I don't see how that can be done from the
rescue mode. The rpm command would complain of missing modules and
compiling a tarball would be even more difficult.
