[Xen-users] Re: Crashing dom0 by unloading mISDN

[Arik Raffael Funke <arik@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I suppose only the "irq=poll" kernel argument is the one that matters, 
right? I tried it, both in my dom0 and domU, but when I unload my misdn 
drivers in the domU everything still locks up.
You have the irq=poll apparently for the dom0. Where are you loading the 
mISDN drivers, also in dom0. If I load/unload the drivers in dom0, I 
have no problem what-so-ever. Only if I unload the drivers in a domU, 
the whole system freezes.
Cheers,
Arik
