I have had similar problems, but under the latest release Kernel. I found 
that the problems happen less if you switch the caching off in Netscape 
(Hard drive cache set to 0Kb).

What config have you got? Perhaps there are similarities. Ive got a 
machine with a QLogic PCI Fast! SCSI card, and an Imagine 128 Video card.
Seagate Barracuda drives (ST32550W) + Quantum Empire 1080 (not used by 
Linux, but on the same chain)
