Kernel Panic: Defining System Inconsistencies
Kernel panic, in this article, however, will refer to a message displayed by an operating system after detecting a system inconsistency from which it cannot recover completely (Linux displays the Kernel Panic, while Windows displays the Blue Screen of Death - soon to become Red in Vista). These errors occur in kernel space and not in user space. These kernel messages are often too cryptic to comprehend rationally, but they clearly provide enough information that’s important for developers in order to resolve a particular problem. Generally, these messages aid developers by recording all information that appeared during the Kernel Panic, for example recording the status of each process and hardware.
The Kernel panic message is there since early versions of UNIX.
Kernel panic can occur due to various reasons. The only thing you can do after a kernel panic is to restart your machine.
