That definitely sounds like a RAM problem. The system should perform the same
independent of how many RAM chips you put in there (segfault-wise). If you're
still in doubt, you can try booting up with memtest86 and run it for several
hours with only the memory chip that you think might be causing the problem.
You can grab the bootdisk image from:
ftp://ftp.winds.org/linux/images/memtest86-2.5.bin
and just write it to a floppy with 'cat memtest86-2.5.bin > /dev/fd0', then
boot up with that disk.
