Troubleshooting system-level problems

System panics during reboot

A system ``panic'' may occur when there is a fatal error that the system cannot correct - most often caused by an improperly configured device or device driver. In a panic situation, the system prints a panic message. If the Kernel Debugger (kdb) package is installed, control transfers to the kernel debugger program.

If you have just installed new hardware, there may be an address or interrupt conflict with other hardware on the system. Power down the computer and verify that all controllers are properly seated and jumpered. Use vendor-supplied software to diagnose hardware conflicts and change address or interrupt values as needed.
