How to force a crash/panic on any Linux box?
You don't have to compile a crash module or anything.
All it takes is:
echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

I essentially wanted to test RHEL 4.0 netdump clients. Forcing an
incorrect parameter as a boot option will indeed cause a panic, but
would not serve my purpose.
netdump client is usually started in runlevels 2,3 and later, and panic
from forcing a wrong parameter would happen way before it would enter
into runlevels.

Here is how one would force a RHEL 3.0/2.1 box to panic:

It works well on 2.1/3.0
I've been trying to compile same on RHEL 4.0, but am getting errors:
panic.c:3:9: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>
panic.c:4:9: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>
# insmod ./panic.ko
insmod: error inserting './panic.ko': -1 Invalid module format
Any help will be much appreciated.
