here's the deal.... the killing of an interrupt handler because of an oops THEN causes a panic. If you dump stack AGAIN, you have 2 stack traces, with the first one being the real good one, and the second one being.. well more crappy... so you proposal just dropped the good stacktrace off the screen in favor of a worse one... -- If you want to reach me at my work email, use [EMAIL PROTECTED] For development, discussion and tips for power savings, visit http://www.lesswatts.org - 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/
