Dear Alfred, I have tried to add several asserts to verify its interrupt mask, however, the abnormal behaviour disappered if I did that. That's really rediculous and I don't know why? I would continue to find out what's the reason, and feedback if something new. Anyway, I really appreciate your help and kindness. Further question, what kind of books, or news, information I can get to study about pc's interrupt handling and architecture.
