When you replace something like motherboard in the system, you have to
recompile th ekernel for it. I've replaced board once, and did not make my
new kernel. FOr a week later I've had weird problems with the system.
You don't even need the X. Just go ahead and recompile kernel from the
shell, and boot it.
I'm not sure whether you need to reinstall the Netscape....just try with
new kernel first.
A place to look is /var/log logs.
