I get the same Segmentation fault when I try to run dmesg.  I'm using the 
bash shell.  Oddly enough I can run sh though.  Another odd thing if I try 
to use cat with bash I get: 
 
-bash: cat: command not found 
 
but I get this if I run cat from sh: 
 
cat: no such device or address 
 
Thanks 
  -Scott
