thanks for this link John, i want to expose a snippet:

"In addition, before the correction can occur, the system may have
crashed, in which case the recovery procedure must include a reboot."

again the question: can we find an "agreement" how to deal with
crashs?

a)
during early boot (kernel/preinit)

b)
during rcS

c)
during worktime (after boot)

IMHO we should always enforce a reboot on panic
(which means: panic=X, where X>0). at the moment this is
done very late in S99: kernel.panic=3

at least THIS should be done on kernel-commandline.
all other values (oops/oom): i discuss, but simply halting during
a panic is a nogo!

bye, bastian
