Problem with new box

[david at thekramers.net (David Kramer)]

So I'm building a replacement server.  Things go well
I'm using after install, and bring up a page in Konqueror, and everything
freezes.  Control-alt-backspace does nothing, control-alt-delete does
nothing, control-alt-f1 does nothing, mouse does not move, clock doesn't
change.

I was able to ssh into it, so it's not totally dead.  I tail
/var/log/messages and see the following:

Is there any way to find out from this what happened?

Should I try different RAM?  re-make the swap partition?

Is there some debugging thing I can set up to trap more info if it happens
again?

BTW, this is a K6-300mhz processor with a brand new 128MB PCI100 DIMM.
Hard drive was working fine in another machine.
