#5421 closed bug (fixed)
kernel_daemons are called with the lock held

Description
This does cause trouble with the legacy driver implementation, since that one calls init_driver() with the driver lock held -- if that registers a kernel daemon (like the floppy driver), a deadlock may happen.
The solution would be to either not lock when calling into the driver, or changing the kernel daemon not to lock when calling the functions.

(In #5462) In such cases please get a stack trace of the "main2" thread and, even better, try to find out why it doesn't continue.
In qemu pressing Alt-Sysreq-D doesn't work. You have to press (left) Ctrl-Alt-2 to enter the qemu monitor and execute the command
sendkey alt-sysrq-d(no typo, it's really "sysrq"). Get back via Ctrl-Alt-1.Anyway, I've seen something like this a few times already and it was always #5421. Just from the syslog its not possible to verify or disprove it, so I'm closing the ticket as a duplicate. Please reopen, when you encounter it next time and can retrieve information that suggests otherwise.
