If it did help, your system wouldn't have crashed. :-) What must have happened is that one of the bits in the USBSTS register was set. It didn't cause an IRQ because the USBINTR register was clear, but an IRQ arrived anyway from some other device sharing the IRQ line. Since USBSTS had bits set, the test above did not filter out the interrupt. In other words, even though it really was a shared interrupt it didn't look that way, because the UHCI controller would have generated an interrupt request if it had been allowed to. > I did not get a chance to test the patch yet. Let me know what happens.
