Different versions of the OS put the logs in different places with 
different names.

Note the difference between a panic and a crash.   A panic is when 
the whole OS collapses, and you get that mult-language "you gotta 
reboot" message - OS X's equiv of the BSOD.  A crash is when a single 
process (application) crashes, but not the whole OS.

View your panic log with Console.  Look for the backtrace within it - 
a list of modules that caused the crash.  From the name of the 
module, you can usually tell generally what's at fault.
