Subject: Re: sky2 hang with 2.6.28 and 2.6.29-rc2

I see Stephen,
Well, no problem then since the driver don't crash.
with 2.6.27 it used to crash.
I'll stay tunned to see it with 2.6.28+ the crash will happen, and if yes,
how do i get the dump?
That info doesn't get logged in the logs don't know why (maybe some
dumbness from me)
