I can still use kernel 4.9.56 with no issues. If I boot either 4.14.10 or 4.14.13, the PC just locks up. If I boot either 4.14.10 or 4.14.13 in recovery mode, I can see some messages go by with the last message being the kernel panic. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris

You still didn't add much context information, e.g. what mainboard make/model, BIOS version and what CPU.

Found a similar report at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1520265 which seems to have been fixed by a BIOS upgrade.

from your running system (4.9.56) please post back the output of

Code: Select all: "rpm -qa | sort | grep ^kernel":

it is possible there are some kernel packages missing that should have been updated with your new ones, but for some reason were not.

It's an HP Z400 workstation with a Xeon 2.67 GHz, 12 GB DDR3, 1 TB HDD, Quadro FX 1800.

There are some acpi issues with kernel 4.14 onwards some what are refereed to as faulty bios's , and yours may be having a bigger impact than some.

I get acpi errors since 4.14 as well on my laptop, but not as bad as you are seeing with a crash.

try disabling acpi initially to see if this helps, thats what i found on one of the links to my errors (adding acpi=off' to /etc/grub2.conf )

it will mean that power profiles may not work, but it will help with a diagnosis.

ps there is one artical that suggests that it could be a vbox module issue, try removing virtualbox if you have it for now

and see if that helps https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/17267

Thanks everyone for the help. doktor5000's suggestion about upgrading the BIOS did the trick. I was at ver. 3.20 (2011) and I upgraded to the latest 3.60 (2016), and now I can boot into the latest 4.14.13 kernel.

Thanks,
Chris
