I have no idea what this is about... anything i should worry about? Is there a way i can find out more about kernel outputs?

if your on RH, i would guess that RH was running a cron job to update your packages db and faulted for some reason, dont know why. Try running update db and see if it completes successfully. Or, i could be totally wrong.... it has happened before, and im sure it will again....

indeed, updatedb results in a segmentationfault....

i would compile it from cource again... unless there is an RPM for it ..
