# Does Platform9 Support Enabling Kernel Parameter kernel.hung\_task\_panic?

## Problem

* The default kernel parameter *kernel.hung\_task\_panic* is set to 0 to ensure that the node does not panic. If *kernel.hung\_task\_panic* is enabled \[set to 1], then it causes the kernel to panic immediately when any of the kernel threads wait for more than the *kernel.hung\_task\_timeout\_secs* value.
* Does Platform9 change the default value for *kernel.hung\_task\_panic*?

## Environment

* Platform9 Managed Kubernetes - v5.4 and Higher

## Answer

Platform9 components are not having any dependency with the kernel parameter `kernel.hung_task_panic`. So enabling and disabling the `kernel.hung_task_panic` will depict its expected behavior, and no issues will be seen during the node onboarding process or during the cluster creation phase.
