Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

Hi,

When the kernel boots up and mounts the root file system, 
the kernel start to do "execve("/sbin/AP",argv_init,envp_init)" to run a AP.
But in my case, it panics when kernel tries to do the "execve("/sbin/AP",argv_init,envp_init)".
The kernel panic message shows " Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! ".
What situation will trigger such kernel panic?

Thanks,
KJ

Well, bogus values for argv_init and envp_init would be the first thing I would check...

"init" is started with pid 1. If this process is killed you get this
message.
it could be possible that your init kernel thread is returning, exiting etc.

A common reason is that /sbin/AP has a seg fault or some other faults.  I
would debug AP program in a stable environment and then make sure I can see
the first "printf" from AP.  From there, you can debug AP with printf.
