Abstract:
A processor includes firmware and at least one instance of an operating system (OS). When the OS encounters an unrecoverable error (a “panic”), data regarding the error is pushed to the firmware via capsule services, rather than immediately being displayed to the screen via legacy video INT10h services. The panic data may be provided to the OS and displayed by the OS after a reset. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
