A similar condition, known as a kernel oops, is not fatal. In a kernel oops, a process has caused some error, but the kernel is able to recover from it, by killing the offending process. Unlike a kernel panic, this is recoverable, but may result in a kernel panic, as critical processes are halted. | A similar condition, known as a kernel oops, is not fatal.
