For example, your main disk controller driver may oops, and then you have no way to tell what happened, because if you try to run dmesg it may deadlock, and obviously the oops message wont be logged either. So a BSOD which allows you to hit enter to continue after an oops is not a bad idea. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
