severity 284952 grave thanks Hi,
I can confirm this bug. Note that things are fine after the USB key is unmounted but before it is physically unplugged. The freeze happens the moment it is physically removed. This is with kernel-image-2.6.9-powerpc version 2.6.9-3, udev 0.050-2, hal 0.4.2-5, hotplug 0.0.20040329-1, and gnome-volume-manager 1.1.2-5. No such problem occurs with kernel 2.6.8. After a few minutes of being frozen, my laptop rebooted automatically. Don't know if this was done by the kernel or by OpenFirmware. I'm upping the severity to "grave" since there will be data loss in any programs running when the freeze/reboot happens. Oh, my hardware is an iBook G3 700 MHz (dual USB, white), in case it makes any difference. regards, -- Kevin B.
