Re: PCI DAS6402/16 driver crashes my system

Following the suggestion from Frank I was able to get a look at the 
kernel messages on the console.  (Although I have to switch to the 
console before the machine crashes, since after the crash it is 
completely unresponsive.)

When the machine crashes, I see this message shortly before the crash:
   plx9080: cancel() timed out waiting for dma 1 done set

The machine crashes shortly after that, and not always in the same 
place.  I added calls to syslog() to the mmap demo, so I could see what 
it was asking comedi to do.  Usually, the machine crashes before mmap is 
able to open the comedi device again, but sometimes it crashes sooner.
