CentOS - Sep 2009 - Segmentation fault

hi

i've recently installed centos 5.3 on the machine.
the installation went fine, but after that (on the first boot) it says
a lot of segmentation fault errors

fe.
# yum
Segmentation fault

i've tried centos 5.2 and 5.0 also, but none of them works.
but the centos 4.x works fine.

could anyone tell me where the problem is?
thanx a lot
fous

I am clutching at straws here but would that suggest there is a
hardware incompatibility issue, what is you physical set up?

Warning: WAG questions follow:

was each of the 5.X tests done from install or upgrades from previous installs?
[I have seen a library get munged on first install, and a reinstall would fix
it, but if the upgrade
used the same version of the lib, it would not fix it.]

Just another guess, what processor do you have?

How close to being full is the disk after the 5.X install?
