Two thoughts:
1) Memory. Seems to be the biggest problem with linux, if your memory is
bad you'll get all kinds of strange errors. To test your system look for
memtest86, it does a good job checking memory and boots from a floppy
disk, no OS involved.
2) Check your installation media. You didn't say where your install
whatever (CDROM, NFS,FTP) came from, it is possible it is corrupt.
I'm assuming this is a fresh install of Redhat, FWIT I had a sig 7 long
ago on a machine during an upgrade that turned out to be an rpm problem.
