Dear Alfred,
I have tried to add several asserts to verify its interrupt mask, however,
the abnormal behaviour disappered if I did that. That's really rediculous and
I don't know why? I would continue to find out what's the reason, and feedback
if something new.
Anyway, I really appreciate your help and kindness. Further question, what
kind of books, or news, information I can get to study about pc's interrupt
handling and architecture.
Thanks,
-- Rex Luo
