| |
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
