The ppc64 config has USB compiled into the kernel, this seems to be vital to reproduce the issue. I compiled USB as a module and the kernel kexecs fine. The patch in comment #1 seems to be the troublemaker. Reassigning to kernel-maintainers, raising severity to blocker as this breaks the system after a kernel update on 11.0 and still reproducible on 11.1 Alpha1 Greg, I'm taking you into CC because the patch is signed-off by you. Would you mind taking the patch out of SL110_BRANCH for the time being? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It also fixes real problems in the irq handling on lots of systems, so it is necessary for non-ps3 boxes, which, I might argue, are the majority for opensuse 11.0 users :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The following change in drivers/usb/core/hcd.c should solve this. - irqflags &= ~IRQF_DISABLED; + if (irqflags & IRQF_SHARED) + irqflags &= ~IRQF_DISABLED; For more details see http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-usb/2008/8/24/3060094/thread -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
