Do I have to do anything so that the server from now on always reboots
using the old kernel-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 ?
You can tell grub which kernel to boot automatically. By default it
will boot the first one in grub.conf, however you can change that with
the 'default=0' line in grub.conf. Remember that 0 is the first kernel
listed, 1 is the second, etc., etc.
How do I verify what kernel is in use now ?
uname -r
Is it possible to remove and prevent kernel-2.6.17-1.2187_FC5 or newer
kernels from automatically installing during a yum update?
You can remove the kernel yes, however I'm not sure about it not
getting reinstalled again at the next update.
Also, How would I go about troubleshooting the panic ?
I'll leave this to the experts to hash out. Though posting your
panic OOPS would be a start.
