But does not work with isochronous device and system hangs. This time I did not have kdb so could not figure out where did it hang. Is it that for 2.6.16.28, this path is still broken for some cases like suspend to disk when transfer is in progress?? > Pavel > -- > (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek > (cesky, pictures) > http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html >
