Heh...the Kernel that comes with RH6.0 is _not_ very stable. We just had
a Kernel panic at a remote site (vanilla RH6.0 Install) that could only
be recovered with a hard reset. Thankfully everything started OK after
the reboot, but all evidence of the cause has disappeared. Updating to
the latest Kernel seems to be a very wise move!
