 #/etc/init.d/amf stop

3) Uninstall the older version of AMF
 #rpm -e VRTSamf
 
4) Install this AMF Patch
 #rpm -ivh VRTSamf-6.0.001.100-RP1P1_RHEL6.x86_64.rpm

So, to ensure that AMF does not get loaded after bootup (after panic), set AMF_START=0, in the file /etc/sysconfig/amf before Step #1 of the installation process. If panic is hit, then after bootup follow instructions from step #3 to install the patch.
