thank you for response.
Sorry for the confusion. It was my fault. I just use qemu to debug my
change.It is a kernel panic. It panic so early, so that I made a mistake and
consideredit as a panic in grub.
I am using grub repo (revno: 3116). Now, I can see the kernel panic message:
"PANIC: early exception 08 rip 246:10 error ffffff8102b785 cr2
ffffffffff47900b"The panic message comes from linux kernel: early_idt_handlers
in the filearch/x86/kernel/head_64.S.
So, it doesn't matter with grub.
