Your database seems completely busted. Are you running with fsync off?
IDE drives with write caching enabled? NFS or some other weirdness?
What was your procedure to shut the server down anyway? Any normal
procedure should have terminated the Postgres processes before closing
shop, althought failing to do so does not normally corrupt databases.
I assume Redhat did not produce an unreliable Postgres version!
