RE: Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

"init" is started with pid 1. If this process is killed you get this message.

it could be possible that your init kernel thread is returning, exiting etc.

Subject: Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

Hi,

 

When the kernel boots up and mounts the root file system,

the kernel start to do "execve("/sbin/AP",argv_init,envp_init)" to run a AP.

But in my case, it panics when kernel tries to do the "execve("/sbin/AP",argv_init,envp_init)".

The kernel panic message shows " Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! ".

What situation will trigger such kernel panic?

 

Thanks,

KJ
