Kernel oops then panic when perform a soft reset on ppc64 box

[Jin Qi Huang]

I have found some information fron IBM website:
1. The state of the processor after taking the Soft Reset exception is 
unremarkable, because SRESET# 
merely causes an exception.
2. The SRESET# pin is only causes the processor to take the System Reset 
exception.

this make me very doubt, since soft reset only causes a Systerm Reset 
exception and the state of the processor is unremarkable, why the 
exception handler of Linux let system go to die? thinks for you reply!

That's normal, what did you expect it to do?
