It should be almost impossible for hobbit to cause a kernel crash. 
The problem most likely lies with either VMWare or your kernel - try
updating to the most recent kernel (and updating to the most recent
version of VMWare your license supports).

I can't see why it would have anything to do with the upgrade either, but 
it never hurts to post the question.

This server has been running fine for months.

Amazing - you dont see those very often.

The crash happens in the journaling code of the ext3 filesystem.
Supposedly, this is with the original kernel shipped with your
Red Hat 7.2? I cannot even remember what this was - and Red Hat
only has updates available for their enterprise releases now.

It's interesting that hobbitd_rrd can trigger it, but it's really
a kernel bug. And I'm pretty sure any Linux kernel developer would
start out with "get an updated kernel installed" before bothering
to look at it.

You can try to get updates for old RedHat releases here :

Unfortunatly, it seems that support for 7.2 and 8.0 has been dropped...
