The command I use to panic the kernel is:

echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

Hello,

I have an Ubuntu system on which I have compiled a kernel and booted into it. I mostly based the config on the old configuration. 

I expect that running this command [1] should lead to a kernel panic but strangely it does not and it only leads to freeze. I don't see the kernel panic messages but the system does freeze and I have to use the power button to reboot. It is possible that I am supposed to configure something but have not, maybe I missing something. Could someone tell me what I am missing out on?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
David
