Now it becomes rather difficult to get the box to hang, though not impossible. Another thing that changed is that now I can see [parts of] oopses on screen. I've got two pictures of the screen with different oopses. If you need them, let me know and I'll send them to you in a separate mail not to pollute lkml with JPEGs. One of these oopses happened on kernel with lock debugging enabled, but I can't see anything relevant in dmesg log after resetting the box. SysRq magic still doesn't work after hang. As for the problem with module unloading when port is open, your another patch does fix it indeed. -- Sergei. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
