Kernel update yesterday now having problems

Hi folks

yesterday I did a yum update on my FC4 system to bring it up to date.  Since 
then my system has ground to a virtual halt 4 times and I've had to press the 
reset button to get things going again.

The problem is it's my box is my mail/web/SQL server and it's causing 
problems.  The load isn't excessive and hasn't changed in ages, so I'm 
guessing it's the upgrade that's caused the problem.

I did fine the following in the syslog immediately before the reboot.

Anyone got any ideas?
