    A "soft lockup" usually occurs when the kernel is too busy allocating or releasing objects that prevent multitasking thresholds. The watchdog daemon will then send a message to all CPU's, reporting the problem and their current running task.

    What makes you think that upgrading the kernel is the solution? You may have a problem with hardware or exceeding available system resources. However, updating 6.5, which is obsolete and no longer maintained, to the latest release update 6.9 is a good idea. This will apply errata and patches.

    # yum update
