  2. Kernel panic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_panic

    After recompiling a kernel binary image from source code, a kernel panic while booting the resulting kernel is a common problem if the kernel was not correctly configured, compiled or installed. [8] Add-on hardware or malfunctioning RAM could also be sources of fatal kernel errors during start up, due to incompatibility with the OS or a missing ...

  3. Linux kernel oops - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_oops

    Thus, even if the system appears to work correctly, undesirable side effects may have resulted from the active task being killed. A kernel oops often leads to a kernel panic when the system attempts to use resources that have been lost. Some kernels are configured to panic when many oopses (10,000 by default) have occurred.

  4. Fatal system error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_system_error

    Otherwise, it appears as though the system simply rebooted (though a blue screen may be visible briefly). In Windows, bug checks are only supported by the Windows NT kernel. The corresponding system routine in Windows 9x, named SHELL_SYSMODAL_Message, does not halt the system like bug checks do.

    Set the console log level, which controls the types of kernel messages that are output to the console 0 - 9: 0 - 9: 0 - 9 (without ⇧ Shift) 0 - 9: Immediately reboot the system, without unmounting or syncing filesystems b: x: b: b: Perform a system crash. A crashdump will be taken if it is configured. c: j: c: c

  6. init - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Init

    Init is a daemon process that continues running until the system is shut down. It is the direct or indirect ancestor of all other processes and automatically adopts all orphaned processes. Init is started by the kernel during the booting process; a kernel panic will occur if

  7. dmesg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmesg

    Even after the system has fully booted, the kernel may occasionally produce further diagnostic messages. Common examples of when this might happen are when I/O devices encounter errors, or USB devices are hot-plugged. dmesg provides a mechanism to review these messages at a later time. When first produced, they will be directed to the system ...

  8. Kernel page-table isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_page-table_isolation

    The second set of page table for use in user mode contains a copy of user-space and a minimal set of kernel-space handling system calls and interrupts. Kernel page-table isolation (KPTI or PTI, [1] previously called KAISER) [2] [3] is a Linux kernel feature that mitigates the Meltdown security vulnerability (affecting mainly Intel's x86 CPUs ...

  9. Linux kernel interfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_interfaces

    The GNU C Library is a wrapper around the Linux kernel system call interface. A C standard library for Linux includes wrappers around the system calls of the Linux kernel; the combination of the Linux kernel system call interface and a C standard library is what builds the Linux API. Some popular implementations of the C standard library are
