I have seen this before. You machine is obviously rejecting RedHat.
This is a common problem, and it is usually fixed by popping a Debian
install CD into your CD-ROM drive and rebooting.
A less desirable fix may be to stick with RedHat and to compile your
own kernel with only those features enabled that you really need. If
that doesn't work, then you need to compile your kernel with debug
symbols included and hook up a null modem cable to another machine.
When you kernel panics, you can get the stack trace, processor
registers and flags, and other useful debugging information on the
terminal. Then hack your kernel to fix the problem, recompile and
install the hacked kernel, and reboot.
Or you could try installing a RedHat package with a newer kernel, if
you haven't done so already.
Cheers,
Mike
