[ale] kernel panic on ale server

[Jim Kinney]

Couldn't leave well enough alone. Just _HAD_ to do some updates...

New kernel 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 to upgrade from 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.
It's unhappy as can be seen from the line beginning with the word BUG:
. Always a bad sign. null pointer dereference at 00000000 is pointing
to the start of RAM with no room to move. looks like a bug to me.

Rolled back to original kernel so people can still play ping/pong...
