Try to compile the kernel yourself. Kernel CPU options seem to claim 586 and 686 is the same... and pentium-III is something else. I would also try vanilla and/or -ac kernel. If RedHat provides installkernel script (probably in /sbin or /usr/sbin/), than it's as easy as: make menuconfig make dep make bzImage make install As far as OOPS output is concerned, there is a program called ksymoops (probably it has a separate package). Pipe the OOPS output through this program. You must either do it with exactly same kernel and set of modules as when the OOPS happened, or you have to capture some info and give it to ksymoops (you will find from man page). Then send the resolved output along with other things suggested in REPORTING-BUGS file in kernel sources to linux kernel mailing list <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org>.
