I had a lot of fun writing all of this stuff, but people keep indicating that maybe some of it could actually be useful. If that's the case, so much the better. panictest.c follows. --cut-- #define __KERNEL__ #define MODULE #include #include #include static char *string = "SOS SOS SOS"; int __init panic_init(void) { panic(string); } module_init(panic_init); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); MODULE_PARM(string, "s"); MODULE_PARM_DESC(string, "The string to panic with.");
