Hello,
I have recently started to take part in kernel dev, for the time being by helping people debug their problems.
I am a bit worried about the possibility of damaging someone's hardware.
How much risk there is? Has this happened to anybody here?
I have heard someone here destroyed someone's else stuff by making them dump the registers (IO or MMIO space) from a wide range.

"However, please beware that we can't be responsible if your system winds up getting damaged. This warning is particularly important for classes in Kernel Internals and Device Drivers, where you will be compiling and installing kernels and kernel modules. Such operating system damage, while rare, is still possible. "
