That's a kernel panic. You can have the system reboot itself after a
panic by adding kernel.panic=N to /etc/sysctl.conf, where N is the number
of seconds to wait before rebooting.
Kewl !!! I just saw that in the file but it is commented out. Like this:
# When the kernel panics, automatically reboot in 3 seconds
#kernel.panic = 3
So, I uncomment this and the system will reboot in 3 seconds? Does it
sync and unmount or just do the same as me hitting the reset button?
I'm going to uncomment this either way. If it is locked up, does it
matter if it is it or me that resets it? lol
Is there a way to set this without rebooting?
Thanks. Why wouldn't that be a default I wonder?
