Kernel panics

Hi, I have had two kernel panics over the course of about 60 days that lock the proxmox host up to the point of needing to force a power down. (Connected monitor shows usb keyboard connecting/disconnecting and power button input for graceful shutdown at times but no response to input from power button/keyboard). There is nothing in the logs immediately around that time that I can find. I doubt there's much useful in it, but the jpg is a picture of what was on the monitor when the machine was recently locked up.

The possible disk log issue file shows an example of log records I do see at other times. If those are indicative of a problem that may be connected to the kernel panic, are there tools I should be using besides smartctl to check status and looking at the pool health in the Proxmox web UI? I can say that the event around 9:20 coincided with all of the web apps on this host failing to respond, but in that instance it recovered after a minute or so. Possible more extreme cases of these events backup the host in such a way that it eventually locks up? Thanks.

Thank you for the information. I see you've removed parts of the system report (subscription), that's good! It is not ideal for support in the forum.

As my colleague Seiji pointed out, it's quite likely an issue with the RAID controller. This could be caused by older firmware not working nicely with a newer kernel.
You could try booting an older kernel to see if the issues persist.
If that doesn't help, firmware updates could. It seems the BIOS is quite old as well:
Code:
BIOS Information
    Vendor: HP
    Version: P89
    Release Date: 12/27/2015

Would it be possible to attach the disks directly to the onboard SATA controller instead of the RAID controller?
