To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: sathish_jayapalan@yahoo.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, I have a doubt. I know that linux kernel doesn't crash so easily. Is there any way to panic the system? Can I go to the source area and insert/modify a variable in kernel code so that the kernel references a null pointer and crashes while running the kernel compiled with this variable. My aim is to learn crash dump analysis with 'Lcrash tool". Please help me out with this. Thanks in advance, sathish __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
