[CentOS] Centos 5.6 kernel errors

Hi guys,

Is anyone else having kernel issues with CentOS 5.6?
I cant get it stable on as a LAMP platform.

Everything is up-to-date and yet I'm running into major problems.
How do I make sense of these kernel errors? Any help will be greatly
appreciated, as I'm now had to roll back to an old copy of CentOS to keep my
systems stable.
