I have a server with a Xeon(R) CPU E31220 @ 3.10GHz and 4Gb of RAM.
I'm using the cisco vpn client to initiate a VPN tunnel to another network.
Due to the buggy vpnclient (4.8.xx) I occasionaly get a kernel panic.
Since this machine is in a remote location I want to recover from the kernel panic.
I've setup sys.kernel.panic to 30.
I've also added it to grub.
I've enabled the nmi watchdog to 60 seconds to no avail.
The machine hangs at some point with a kernel panic and it NEVER reboots.
The Code is: Bad RIP Value
kernel panic - not synching: Fatal Exception
Ther is no way to update the server to a newer Centos version so this is not a solution.
Has anybody encountered such a situation?
Thanks.

Can you show the exact configuration you have setup?peyguin wrote:I've setup sys.kernel.panic to 30.
The correct parameter is kernel.panic = 30 in /etc/sysctl.conf
Re: Centos 5.6 x86_64 does NOT reboot after kernel panic
The configuration in sysctl.conf is as follows
kernel.panic = 30
kernel.panic_on_unrecovered_nmi = 60
And I've added the following to the kernel command line
nmi_watchdog=1 panic=30
kernel.panic = 30
kernel.panic_on_unrecovered_nmi = 60
And I've added the following to the kernel command line
nmi_watchdog=1 panic=30
