Awsome, if you have anything that needs testing I am more than happy to help. I am a bit confused about which registers are saved and which aren't in the current code, but I figure that mainly relates to the code being incomplete. > The PCI device shutdown code was to un-master all the PCI devices so that no > DMA transaction will be issued by Device.

I was really puzzling over why ia64 does this but x86_32 doesn't. I also suspect it can be safely removed. Would you like me to test that out and send a patch if it works? > There is another problem that I call irq->end for each devices, it is > not safe to touch any pointer belong to previous kernel at the crash > time.

Right, that does sound quite nicely, especially as that device is quite common, right? -- Horms H: http://www.vergenet.net/~horms/ W: http://www.valinux.co.jp/en/ _______________________________________________ fastboot mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/fastboot
