Both the OHCI and the EHCI handover code is pretty much by the book as per the specs with some tweaks to work around problems from the BSDs and Linux. So I can't say I would know anything obvious to do from here on out. It is obvious that an SMI hits as soon as the legacy handover is attempted for both OHCI and EHCI. There's really nothing we can do about those, as the system management code is priviledged. The only thing we can do is trying to work around the issue that triggers it. Without having the hardware it's very hard to do anything of course, but I'll try to come up with some patches that you could try and see. BTW it is enough to add the username to the CC field for it to work, but in my case, since I'm on the bugs mailing list getting all ticket changes anyway, it isn't needed to CC me at all. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8085#comment:6> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
