Cut the power :-)

If you're lucky, you have compiled Magic SysRQ into your kernel - then try doing this

ALT-[SYSRQ] s

(repeat that 4 or 5 times)

then

ALT-[SYSRQ] o

if that doesn't work then:

ALT-[SYSRQ] s

(repeat that 4 or 5 times)

then

ALT-[SYSRQ] b

SysRq is sometimes labelled Print Screen.

o = shut system down
s = sync filesystems
b = immediate reboot

I am having the DC reboot the machine. Will fsck cure the segmentation faults?? Or what will??

I had this problem yesterday, luckilly, I had no data on the server and I reformatted it and it fixed itself.
