Adding Blue Screen of Death to Non-Windows OS

I am looking to get into operating system kernel development and figured and have been reading books on operating systems (Tannenbaum) as well as studying how BSD and Linux have tackled this challenge but still am stuck on several concepts.

  1. If I wanted to mimic the Windows Blue Screen of Death on an operating system, would I simply put this logic in the panic kernel method?

  2. Are there ways to improve upon how Windows currently performs this functionality?

Solution

  • I'm not exactly sure where to look in the source but you might want to look into ReactOS, an open source Windows clone which has BSOD already.
