  2. Kernel panic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_panic

    After recompiling a kernel binary image from source code, a kernel panic while booting the resulting kernel is a common problem if the kernel was not correctly configured, compiled or installed. [8] Add-on hardware or malfunctioning RAM could also be sources of fatal kernel errors during start up, due to incompatibility with the OS or a missing ...

  3. Fatal system error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_system_error

    The user will only see the blue screen if the system is not configured to automatically restart (which became the default setting in Windows XP SP2). Otherwise, it appears as though the system simply rebooted (though a blue screen may be visible briefly).

  4. Page fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_fault

    The MMU detects the page fault, but the operating system's kernel handles the exception by making the required page accessible in the physical memory or denying an illegal memory access. Valid page faults are common and necessary to increase the amount of memory available to programs in any operating system that uses virtual memory , such as ...

  5. Executable-space protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable-space_protection

    The first implementation of a non-executable stack for Windows (NT 4.0, 2000 and XP) was published by SecureWave via their SecureStack product in 2001, based on the work of PaX [7] [8] Starting with Windows XP Service Pack 2 (2004) and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (2005), the NX features were implemented for the first time on the x86 ...

  6. Linux kernel oops - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_oops

    A kernel oops often leads to a kernel panic when the system attempts to use resources that have been lost. Some kernels are configured to panic when many oopses (10,000 by default) have occurred. Some kernels are configured to panic when many oopses (10,000 by default) have occurred.

  7. General protection fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_protection_fault

    A general protection fault (GPF) in the x86 instruction set architectures (ISAs) is a fault (a type of interrupt) initiated by ISA-defined protection mechanisms in response to an access violation caused by some running code, either in the kernel or a user program.

  8. kdump (Linux) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kdump_(Linux)

    In a "dual kernel" layout, kdump uses kexec to boot another kernel and obtain a memory dump. [3]: 10 In the event of a kernel crash, kdump preserves system consistency by booting another Linux kernel, which is known as the dump-capture kernel, and using it to export and save a memory dump.

  9. Kernel Patch Protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_Patch_Protection

    The kernel connects the application software to the hardware of a computer. Kernel Patch Protection (KPP), informally known as PatchGuard, is a feature of 64-bit editions of Microsoft Windows that prevents patching the kernel. It was first introduced in 2005 with the x64 editions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1. [1]
