Subjectpanic not rebooting even though /proc/sys/kernel/panic=1?
Anyone know why a kernel panic would not cause a reboot even though /proc/sys/kernel/panic is set to "1"?

This morning I had the following message on the console of a 2.2.14 box that had been sitting idle overnight:

[root@localhost /test]# Kernel panic: Free list corrupted

When I pressed ENTER, I found that bash was still responding, though when I tried to run "top" everything froze until I pulled the plug on the box:

[root@localhost /test]# ls -la
total 3
drwxr-x--- 2 root root 1024 Nov 7 23:56 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 1024 Nov 7 19:56 ..
-rw------- 1 root root 5 Nov 7 23:56 test.txt
[root@localhost /test]#
[root@localhost /test]# top
Kernel panic: Free list corrupted

1) Anyone know why the kernel panic didn't cause a reboot?

2) Or maybe why something like this would even happen?

Thanks,

Stéphane Charette
