Hello Irina,
I am not sure if this post is in the correct category since you placed it in the "netFIELD Connect" gateway forum.
The gateway devices "netPI" and "netFIELD Connect" are looking the same but have different Linux OS software generation loaded.
1. If we speak about netPI then we speak about software generation V1.x and about netPI OS in the version 4.9.x of the kernel. It is not 4.19. and not all the version in between.
I suppose that the kernel panic you are referencing have not been seen in kernel 4.9.x. else I would have found a notice about it as well but I didn't. Independent of you kernel panice problem I am sorry to say that we will be keep going with kernel 4.9. for netPI product and will not change it any more. The software generation 1.x started in year 2016 is only maintained for heavy security reasons only. The big advantage of no need to hurry with all the updates in between is the usage of Docker and containers, since many security issues can be solved by just updating the containers only and not the OS itself.
2. If we speak about netFIELD Connect then we speak about software generation V2.x and this time about netFIELD OS and then about the version 5.4.x of the kernel. So also with netFIELD Connect we do not use version 4.19. So it seems that you are using your very own OS we can't say much about. Correct? The netFIELD OS in the version 5.4 is maintained ... we update it usually every 6 month. But still since netFIELD Connect is a Docker host, we have no hurry to update the OS so frequently
Thx
Armin
