thtas a rather old motherboard, like circa 2008? my longtime
experiences with consumer desktop grade hardware suggest that at 5
years, 50% of them go flaky. that one is about 8 years old now.
I know its old. I have quite a few (5) PCI video capture cards in there
for MythTV and very few modern motherboards have PCI interfaces these
days. Moving to something more recent would also mean scrapping those
cards.
That said, I doubt that the age of the motherboard is related to the
kernel panic after I stupidly de-installed the NVidia driver. It would
be a sad double fault that the previously unused (but old) replacement
mother board suffered a failure at the same time as I de-installed the
NVidia driver. That would be very bad luck.
I have subsequently found that the 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 kernel still
boots fine on there so I very much doubt I'm on the trail of a hardware
fault.
Would I be safe just to reinstall the 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 kernel?
Thanks
Ken
