This was a fresh install on new hardware.

Nope, but all it said was a repeated message about Trident, which with
no date or time isn't that helpful.
What I now believe is/was the problem is the RedHat Upate agent. All the
crashes occurred whilst this was running, which was most of the time as
I was trying to update the machine (still am).
As the update agent turns out to be a rather poor ftp program, I've
reverted to using wget off the Aarnet mirror to download all the rpms,
then use update agent to install them. So long as most rpms are put into
/var/spool/up2date, the RH update agent recognises them and installs
them.
For some reason this doesn't happen with some, i.e. kernel ones can have
problems, which is back to playing Rusiian roulette.
.
This is the third day without using the RH update agent for retrieval,
so I'm fairly sure that was the problem. (Must remember to bump the FSB
back up to 133Mhz to get full grunt again).
Thanks all.
