This is a somewhat ancient kernel. That said, has it been running fine
until recently? If so, you may want to investigate hardware issues
(failing power supply, bad RAM). Regardless, you may want to check if
updated kernels are available for that distribution. (RedHat
Enterprise Edition?)

And there's the oops, which'll have to be interpreted by someone with
better kernel skills than I have, I'm afraid.
