    I am not sure the purpose for forcing a kernel panic,
    but I would like to see how to force a system crash with
    a subsequent analysis on memory dump.

    Is there such as a tool?

    Sorry if it is off topic.

    Here is how one would force a RHEL 3.0/2.1 box to panic:
    http://evuraan.blogspot.com/2004/12/how-to-force-linux-box-to-panic.html

    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.
