+          This integer controls the behaviour of kdb when the kernel gets a
+          catastrophic error, i.e. for a panic or oops.
+          When KDB is active and a catastrophic error occurs, nothing extra
+          will happen until you type 'go'.
+          CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 0 (default). The first time
+          you type 'go', you will be warned by kdb. The secend time you type
+          'go', KDB tries to continue. No guarantees that the
+          kernel is still usable in this situation.
