Thanks for the reply. I am using and compiling kernel from kernel.org. I believe 3.18.27 with patches is as new as in January of this year. Sent from my iPhone

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,
