I'm getting really frustrated with frequent kernel panics. It happened with red hat 8 and now 9. I though 9 would solve it. It happens about once or twice a day and I have been observing when it happens and there don't seem to be any common factors. It kernel panics at the login screen, with no programs running, or with tons of programs running. I posted /var/messages not long ago, but didn't get any responses. I really like linux, but I need something stable. If someone could point me in the right direction on where to find out more info on why it might do this or to troubleshoot it and especially solve it, I'd appreciate it. I wonder if Red Hat 7.2 or 7.3 is more stable. I don't need the newest stuff, just something stable, preferably easy to configure. Does apt-get support redhat versions previous to 8?
Apt does support versions prior to redhat8 specifically 7.3. Just to let you know, I haven't been experiencing kernel panics, and I've been using both redhat8 and redhat9 for months. Kernel panics often denote a hardware issue (like bad memory or a bad bus). Sometimes if you are running an experimental kernel you might get kernel panics, but this is not the norm. Downgrading to redhat 7.3 probably will not help you very much. You might still get the kernel panics.
You may want to try pulling out memory sticks one at a time (while the computer is off) and see if there is any difference. There are also memory testing programs that might help out.
