In one panic, the pte referenced was 0x100010000000000 which sure looks a whole like someone wrote his registers in there. It certainly doesn't look like a valid pte. So far, unloading pata_acpi and pata_amd seem to have eliminated the ACPI exception messages. I believe that this resets the device properly. Unfortunately, it looks like lots of drivers don't implement the pci_driver->shutdown call, so it would make sense that this is a relatively widespread problem. --dlloyd _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
