CentOS - Jan 2018 - Is kernel-3.10.0-693.11.6.el7 tested with old hardware?

Today we tried to update machines w/ Core2 Duo E6750 from
3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.centos.plus to  3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.centos.plus and
the machines did not boot due to a kernel panic.

Before we dig any further I wanted to know if the 11.6 kernel has been
tested on old hardware, too, or if the problem is well known but not
documented (yet).

Thank you in advance!

Gerhard Schneider

I have a computer with a Core2 Quad Q9400 processor.  It is running CentOS7 
and  kernel 3.10.0-693.11.6 with no issues.
