[CentOS] Any known problems with kernel-2.6.18-164.el5.x86_64 / x86_64 / 3ware?

Hi,

I have a server that is running centos 5.3 x86_64 that until last week was
running fine.   With no error messages in console and in /var/log/messages
the server simply stops responding.

After a reboot everything is fine.   The only change (that I could find) but
that was not active before the first incident/reboot was the update of the
kernel and friends.

The server (is this can help) is a intel quad core, 8GB RAM , 3 x 1TB disks
(raid mirror with 2 active / 1 spare via 3ware controller)

Any known problem with the kernel-2.6.18-164.el5.x86_64? (I am assuming that
this would be the only thing that could cause the problem due to the lack of
other messages.

Regards.
