How do I find kernel panic?

2 Answers

  1. do not use drivers any more.
  2. write to disk using BIOS routines (or something low level as this)
  3. write the kernel dump into the page file (the only known place which is contiguous and known that we can write to without damaging anything)
  4. on next boot, check if the page file contains a crash dump signature.

Where can I find Kernel Logs?

This log file can be found at /var/log/dmesg and gets reset on every boot, you may not actually see any use in it now, but if you were to ever have issues with something during bootup or a hardware issue, dmesg is the best place to look. You can also view this log using the dmesg command.
