As I already mentioned in other messages, I already tested with JUST the patched 8390.c driver, no other patches. It was stable. I then patched apic.c AND io_apic.c, which did not introduce new instabilities. Unless you think that reverting back to a stock io_apic.c would cause instabilities (which would be weird, since I had no instabilities running only a patched 8390.c), I think the patch to 8390.c DOES remove the symptoms all by itself. No other patches seem necessary to get a stable box. But I'll patch the mess again just fox kicks :-) Cheers//Frank -- WWWWW _______________________ ## o o\ / Frank de Lange \ }# \| / \ ##---# _/ \ #### \ +31-320-252965 / \ frank@unternet.org / ------------------------- [ "Omnis enim res, quae dando non deficit, dum habetur et non datur, nondum habetur, quomodo habenda est." ] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
