I am running 4.1.8 on all my machines without any problems. Without |
| 22 |
seeing the stack trace and/or other output from the kernel panic, I |
| 23 |
would have no idea how to figure out what the problem was. I am also not |
| 24 |
a kernel wizard, so I probably wouldn't be much help anyways. |
