Dear driver experts,
WindowsNT can output crash dump and then restarts without regular shutdown.
Device drivers must quieten their devices at first because devices can
assert INTx#.
WindowsNT launches drivers in a certain sequence.
In a case that device A and device B share INTx#/IRQn and driver A starts
before driver B, what will happen if driver A receives the interrupt
requested by device B?
To tell the truth, although device A and B don't share a same INTx#/IRQn
in my application, driver A dies. Why?
How can I solve this problem?
Both device A and B are network.
Thanks in advance,
Takashi Nakamura
