Yes.  Read the genconf documentation; it should give you a reasonable 
start.  Also, have a thorough look through the list archives, this type 
of thing has been discussed before.

Not all lipid parameters are united-atom, but I'll assume that the ones 
you used are :-)  Think about basic molecular geometry.  Aren't all 
those carbon centers sp3 along the lipid chain?  Using some basic 
geometry, one can infer the hydrogen positions.

Absolutely not.  Without better information (screen output), there is no 
hope of diagnosing a segfault.  We have no idea what you're running, how 
you created it, how Gromacs was compiled (and which compilers), etc.  If 
you want free help, make it easy on us and tell us exactly what's going on.
