In fact the device wasn't generating a stream of interrupts when loaded (i guess). It was just that the shared handler was showing all the interrupts that occurred, since i was not looking at the interrupt mask/status. But accessing any registers caused me a flood of interrupts, which froze the system. excessive printing to the console caused a lockup. I am now wondering whether the usage of MSI would help in this case and that i should be using enable_msi before request_irq ? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
