I've actually seen Linux kernel panics on a lot of video systems on planes too. I suspect there are a lot of *nix os's on various parts of the planes.
This probably shows how much I travel though :-P
- mdaniel 15y agoAs a pedantic observation, it is far more likely you observed the normal Linux boot-up process, which sometimes hangs due to a sub-process waiting on a network event or fsck. It would surprise me if such a device had a kernel panic.
- kmm 15y agoMe too, considering how hard it is to trigger a kernel panic. The first and only times I ever saw them were when I was building my own kernel modules.
- einhverfr 15y agoNo. It had the words "Kernel Panic" on the screen for a while and then it booted.
- mseebach 15y agoIt's not inconceivable that the in-flight entertainment system would use a bunch of specialised hardware with "homemade" drivers, all capable of panicing the kernel.
