Hello,

I have installed the following RPM on CentOS 6.5 64 bit -
uuid-1.5.1-4.rhel5.x86_64
postgresql92-contrib-9.2.4-1PGDG.rhel5.x86_64
postgresql92-9.2.4-1PGDG.rhel5.x86_64
postgresql92-server-9.2.4-1PGDG.rhel5.x86_64
postgresql92-libs-9.2.4-1PGDG.rhel5.x86_64

Kernel version is -
kernel-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64
kernel-firmware-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.noarch

The CentOS server is a VM running on top of VMware with 4CPUs [2.4GHz each]
& 9GB of RAM. No other application runs on this server.

The RPM get installed successfully, but when I issue the "service
postgresql-9.2 initdb" command, it gets stuck for 5-10 minutes & then says
failed. The pgstartup.log file has only 1 line -
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Any idea what is going wrong? How to fix it? I'm open to try multiple
installation attempts [as it is a VM & I can re-install as needed]

Thanks
Bhushan Pathak
