It would be tricky, but might be possible. But that would be a completely new feature -- the kernel has always hung in this case. If you think you need it submit a (followup) patch. But I don't think it's fair to ask Vivek to do it. Besides i don't think it would be any useful. panic reboot only makes sense if you can recover after reboot. But if your CPU somehow suddenly loses its ability to run 64bit code, no reboot of the world will recover. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
