[$] 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.
