I wonder if you could use a hardware watchdog driver of some kind to trigger the soft reboot? > If you restart a PC in cold(hard) boot, is it possible to see the RAM > memory(previous boot) still? I really I don’t know how it works. It depends a lot on your chipset and RAM. It sounds like your system very quickly wipes its RAM contents on a cold reset. > So, is there a way to automatically reboot the Linux system when it > freezes? I set “kernel.softlockup_panic = 1, kernel.unknown_nmi_panic > = 1, kernel.softlockup_all_cpu_backtrace = 1, kernel.panic = 1, > kernel.panic_on_io_nmi = 1, kernel.panic_on_oops = 1, > kernel.panic_on_stackoverflow = 1, kernel.panic_on_unrecovered_nmi = > 1”, but it does not helped to reboot when it freezes. See if Documentation/nmi_watchdog.txt helps? Good luck! -- Kees Cook
