Here's a chunk outta kernel 2.0.35, /usr/src/linux/kernel/panic.c
do_unblank_screen();
if (panic_timeout > 0)
{
/*
* Delay timeout seconds before rebooting the machine.
* We can't use the "normal" timers since we just panicked..
*/
printk(KERN_EMERG "Rebooting in %d seconds..",panic_timeout);
for(i = 0; i < (panic_timeout*1000); i++)
udelay(1000);
#ifdef CONFIG_SCSI_GDTH
gdth_halt();
#endif
hard_reset_now();
}
for(;;);
--- end of chunk --
The default action is to simply halt -- but it does have the option to do
a hard reset after panic_timeout seconds.... Didn't look into how this
value gets set, but it's probably a LILO argument.
Hope it answered your question.
