Shortlog follows, Linus, I've got an oops in the forcedeth driver on shutdown. Sorry for the crappy camera phone pictures, this board doesn't have RS232 ports: http://devzero.co.uk/~alistair/oops-20060512/ It was initially difficult to reproduce, but I found I could do so reliably if I ssh'ed into the box and halted it remotely, then it would always oops on shutdown. I assume this is because the driver is still active when something happens to it during halt. There's been just a single commit since -rc3: forcedeth: fix multi irq issues ebf34c9b6fcd22338ef764b039b3ac55ed0e297b However, it could have just been hidden since before -rc3, so I'll try to work backwards if nobody has any immediate ideas.. -- Cheers, Alistair.
