    [$] More informative kernel panics for Fedora

    Date:
    Thu, 25 Jul 2024 15:34:31 +0000

    Description:
    On July 12, Jocelyn Falempe proposed a change to the configuration options that Fedora sets for its
    kernels, in order to make kernel panics easier to report.
    Falempe would like to enable the kernel's recently added
    DRM-panic feature, which adds
    a graphical crash screen that is reminiscent of the infamous
    Windows "blue screen of death" for kernel panics. The feature introduces a few tradeoffs, including currently limited driver support, so the proposal
    spawned a
    good deal of discussion.
