Be specific and provide more details.

Which distribution of Linux are you using?
What software is crashing and what are the versions of the software? What
steps are necessary to reproduce the crash?

Just saying that linux is crashing is a very broad statement and no one
can offer you any useful suggestions without more information.

It depends on what caused the crash. Sometimes a message will be sent
by syslog to /var/log/syslog. Sometimes the log will get written to
disk before the crash. Often it won't.

A good way to solve this quandry in critical machines is to have their
syslog send to the syslog of another box.

always pertinent to mention: alt-sysrq-s to sync the disks before
pulling the plug on a locked hard box. Its very satisfying to watch
the drive light flicker just before you kill the power for real.
