I can't help you with your controllers, but anyone in a position to help = will likely want to know if the box simply resets, or if the kernel = panics. And if there are going to be any patches, you most certainly = will want to get familiar with the debugger to help try stuff out. The = handbook has information on how to enable crash dumps and getting the = kernel debugger going. If you haven't done so already, try and get a = serial console going, it helps tremendously to be able to cut&paste = debugger info instead of trying to hand transcribe it.
