    grub is not on all systems; the one I'm working with is not using grub. My bootloader's config is stored in flash. Commented Jan 20, 2012 at 17:29

    yeah, still.. can it mount the filesystem and read the kernel config file? if yes, then there you go. Because its the boot loader which passes the kernel parameters to the kernel while loading the kernel. Commented Jan 20, 2012 at 17:42

    if you have a sysctl.d structure without sysctl.conf, put kernel.panic = 3 inside a new file within that folder, e.g. /etc/sysctl.d/99-panic.conf (# echo kernel.panic = 3 > /etc/sysctl.d/99-panic.conf) Commented Dec 13, 2023 at 11:22
