I thought "oops" would be generated for critical errors like processor exceptions etc when a kernel CANNOT proceed further in a reliable way...whereas a "panic" was _artificially_ induced (?), eg: a missing 'init' to run (very common error, which I'm sure most of us here would've experienced :)), and the kernel _may_ proceed further with some reliability Wikipedia, has a decent explanation of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_oops HTH, -mandeep _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
