Subject: reboot during kernel panic

Hello.

When kernel goes to panic, it does not appear to accept Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot the machine. Is there any way to reboot it then? Lets assume I can't send any sysrq keys.

If that is not even possible to reboot it since it is in panic, what is the reason for that?

Thank you

Tomas M

Hi Tomas, there was a boot parameter like
panic=30 where 30 is timeout for reboot. Check
docs please (i don't remember precise syntax :)
