Err ? IRQ happens IRQ is disabled by the generic handling code Handler is invoked and checks, whether the irq is from the device or not. - If not, it returns IRQ_NONE, so the next driver (e.g. disk) is invoked. - If yes, it masks the chip on the device, which disables the chip interrupt line and returns IRQ_HANDLED. In both cases the IRQ gets reenabled from the generic irq handling code on return, so why is the box dead ? tglx - 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/
