Hi,
I have a server which is running Fedora Core 4. I have updated the kernel to version 2.6.17 because I was getting kernel panic on version 2.6.11. I used yum for update. After the update the server worked fine for months before the problem again started to surface. Now I get a similar Kernel Panic error every few weeks.
Kernel panic - not syncing: bad locking
I thought that this might be an issue with the kernel so I tried updating it again. Only this time yum doesn't show any new version as available.
So what are my options? How do I update the kernel on my server without upgrading the OS itself? I would prefer an RPM update as opposed to a TAR balls update.
Please feel free to ask further questions regarding the error message. I will be more than willing to answer your queries.
Thanks for your help.

This version has been EOL for a fair bit now, to be honest no updates/fixes have been issued for 4 years.
Fedora is reaching release 11 in 20 days, unless you have a real requirement to keep such an old version I would suggest you start backing up data and prepare to upgrade the OS.
