Re: [gentoo-user] How can I trigger kernel panic?
Just to be sure, r e i s u b may be input in low case, without shift, right? Like hold Alt + SysRq and type r e i s u b then release Alt + SysRq?

Sysrq is definitely required :) Ctrl, on the other hand, is optional. And AltGr may be substituted for Alt.

Ctrl+Alt+ R E I S U B (busier in reverse) After a E or I you should be back into a console, unless things are badly screwed. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

There's a SysRq sequence to get around this, but I don't remember it. -- :wq

Just frozen... No reaction to keyboard or mouse. No auto-reboot either. The only thing I could do is to press "Reset". Not exactly what I have been expecting...

If you want to test the auto-reboot, try appending root=/dev/random to the command line.

[gentoo-user] How can I trigger kernel panic?
Hi, my question might seem silly, but I have reason for it: I have heard there is way to auto-reboot linux after kernel panic using "kernel.panic=" in /etc/sysctl.conf. This might come handy as my server is far from me and I do not have any remote console. But I would like to test it and see if it works (first on my desktop). So my question is: Can I somehow deliberately trigger "kernel panic" (or "kernel oops")? Jarry -- ___ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists!
