If you are using a RHEL system, you need to contact Red Hat for support
as that is what you are paying for.  Their kernel is a very "odd" one.

Also note that 3.18 is very old and obsolete as well, please use a
"modern" kernel release, the community can't support old kernels like
that.

best of luck,
