Good day.

Is there a reason your system is still using kernel 4.18? That kernel is no longer supported and has not been for some time.

I often have to install the operating system to try to duplicate bugs but I hesitate to do so when the operating system is no longer supported. Can I get you to upgrade to a supported kernel?

Regards.

Hello, Nick!

As for the kernel version, I just use whatever the CentOS Linux updates provide and from my perspective, they seem to be stuck at 4.18 apparently.

I'll have to do some research to see if they have 5.x kernel available ... just not readily familiar with things like that.

Appreciate your instructive reply ... I'll update you at such time I find out how to get the 5.x kernel. Thanks!

Joel,

The following link will give you an idea of what the supported kernels are:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_version_history

Upgrading could fix this issue. It might not.

I have no experience with Centos so I don't even know if the installation instructions were what is needed. I'm willing to learn.

Cheers,

Nick
