Force kernel penic on linux?

Name: Anonymous 2009-10-03 6:34

Hey there!
I want to force a kernel panic, but don't really know an effective way to do it.
Tried feeding zeros to the memory by "cat /dev/zero > /dev/mem", but it has non-device access disabled. Tried killing init in various ways, but it ignores all those kill calls or something, so nothing happens. Making the system divide by zero shoul do the trick, but i don't know a fairly easy way to do that.
Any ideas?

you can't **force** kernel panic without actually exploiting a bug. simple commands will not do the job
