Mozilla on new kernel HELP!


Hi folks!

I recently upgraded my kernel with up2date, i'm using
RedHat 8.0, and up2date automaticly updated my old
version of kernel 2.4.18-14 with kernel version
2.4.20-28.8.
With older version of kernel Mozilla worked great, but
now it won't even run, i enter mozilla in the terminal
window and get an erorr saying:

"Segmentation fault"

I installed a new version of mozilla
also using up2date but same same error apears after
I try to run mozilla! This happened in some other
programs also, what should i do?

I then tryed to run galeon from terminal and get an
error like this:

_IceTransSocketUNIXConnect:
Cannot connect to non-local host localhost.localdomain
GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connectiong to session manager:
Could not open netword socket.
Multiple segmentation faults occurred; can't display error dialog

Konqueror when i run it form terminal also splits an error:

_IceTransSocketUNIXConnect:
Cannot connect to non-local host localhost.localdomain
Session managment error: Could not open network socket

But Konqueror works, at least it loads web pages, this
sounds like trouble to me so i would like to get it
fixed, so please help me!

HEEELLLPPPP!

I cannot help you completely but you have found a Mozilla's bug, contact with their maintainers. With you problem ('bout non-local localhost.localdomain) i scarcely can say smth, because i have no network (at home).

I have returned to my old version of kernel and everything works great!

I REALLY don't understand, shouldn't programs work better on new releases?????
I'm newbie to Linux, trying to get rid of Windows, and i know that Windows is pure crap, but at least, you can install drivers and programs by double-click and following instructions on the screen, in linux is all about this shell, i personaly like Linux more than Windows, so i want to learn, could someone recomend me tutorial about organization of files, file systems, shell and all the basics??

And also, i would like to learn programing of shell scripts, because i have much of my software installed that doesn't show in KDE menu, how do i add it?
I thought to write a shell script that runs my program and put it as an icon on my desktop!?

Please, give me a little kickstart! Thanks!

When i was beginner in Linux, i've compiled kernel for 5 times per day
It was 2.4 kernel. Now there is more suitable 2.6, it's more easy for compilling, download it (from http://kernel.org if u don't know it). At first, there few commands u've to know: "make menuconfig", "make", "make modules_install" and "grub" if u use it.
After "make menuconfig" copy new kernel "/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage" into "/boot/" and then DO NOT FORGET add new kernel to the load menu (and type "grub" EVEN if it exists already; i use another loader )!
read README and information provided by "menuconfig" itself.
P.S. U can use "make xconfig" in X instead of "make menuconfig".
