If the user has enabled it, the system will also write an entry to the system event log. The log entry contains information about the bug check (including the bug check code and its parameters) as well as a link that will report the bug and provide the user with prescriptive suggestions if the cause of the check is definitive and well-known.
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 ...
In a "dual kernel" layout, kdump uses kexec to boot another kernel and obtain a memory dump. [3]: 10 In the event of a kernel crash, kdump preserves system consistency by booting another Linux kernel, which is known as the dump-capture kernel, and using it to export and save a memory dump.
This is a list of commands from the GNU Core Utilities for Unix environments. These commands can be found on Unix operating systems and most Unix-like operating systems. GNU Core Utilities include basic file, shell and text manipulation utilities. Coreutils includes all of the basic command-line tools that are expected in a POSIX system.
There are five types of kernel-mode dumps: [18] Complete memory dump – contains full physical memory for the target system. Kernel memory dump – contains all the memory in use by the kernel at the time of the crash. Small memory dump – contains various info such as the stop code, parameters, list of loaded device drivers, etc.
mced [15] (mcedaemon) is a Linux program by Tim Hockin to gather MCEs from the kernel and alert interested applications. Note that it does not try to interpret the MCE data, it simply alerts other programs. mcat is a Windows command-line program from AMD to decode MCEs from AMD K8, Family 0x10 and 0x11 processors.
The magic SysRq key is a key combination understood by the Linux kernel, which allows the user to perform various low-level commands regardless of the system's state. It is often used to recover from freezes , or to reboot a computer without corrupting the filesystem . [ 1 ]
The kerneloops software can collect and submit kernel oopses to a repository such as the www.kerneloops.org website, [7] which provides statistics and public access to reported oopses. A simplified crash screen was introduced in Linux 6.10, similar to the Blue Screen of Death on Windows. [8]
