Root What's causing reboots?

I was using Cyanogen 6.0.2 but it was rebooting randomly so I switched to Ruby 1.1.1. Instead of letting everything come in from my backups on Google's servers, I only restored a small number of apps and have been running it today with minimal applications running. Lo and behold, I just got my first random reboot. It must be some application that I'm running, but since I can't trigger it I can't exactly uninstall 1 app at a time.

I'm very comfortable in the command line (I do it in my job); is there a log somewhere I can read that would list what's happening? I'm not running any special kernels, but I'm starting to wonder if the phone's rebooting due to a kernel panic. Is there a log I can view this kind of information somewhere?
 
What Kernel are you running? My phone doesn't like the KingsX kernels as much as the Hydra OCUV 1.13 kernel. Not sure why. However, when you're dealing with cooked Kernels and ROMs, my bet is that subtle nuiances in the hardware make bigger differences in stability. So while we all have the same phone they're not necessarily all the same exact build quality.
