The ability to force a kernel panic, I think, would be a great attack
vector.
Perhaps tell us why you're doing this. It may be that any-old kernel
panic won't provide a realistic test for whatever you're doing.
How about giving it the wrong root= on the kernel command line? Or, do
you mean cause the kernel on a running system to panic?
There isn't anything that _should_ cause a kernel panic; bugs do that.
Bugs should get fixed. Perhaps search the debian bug-tracking-system
for kernel panic and reproduce on of the bugs.
