It may be too early to tell but it looks like this fix in lilo may have turned my horribly unstable system into a very stable system now. Everything so far that I tried to use is working and does not crash. My panel does not disappear on me anymore either. I hope others with similar systems learn of this fix. Thanks so much for your input. I had been struggling with this since July. Thanks very much again.
Gratefully, Marcia
