I just built a system from motherboard up and am having a few problems and looking for pointers. I used the latest Debian version from Cheap Bytes, "slink", I think.

Anyhow, what happens is that Netscape crashes a lot, and Mozilla crashes too. Sometimes the crash is severe enough to kill the X server, and sometimes the system hangs completely.

Of every 10 crashes, 7 are just Netscape or Mozilla, 2 are the X server, and 1 is a complete system hang.

I am running the Debian kernal that was on the CDs. When I try to make a new kernal, I can't get X to start at all.

I am looking for pointers as to log files that might indicate the problem. It is possible that I have not set everything up exactly right for the motherboard and CPU chip. I am using an IWILL XA100P motherboard with an AMD K6-3 400 CPU, with 256MB RAM.

Alll of these crashes must leave log entries somewhere, right? Where do I look?
