I posted the workaround and Haifux' list, which boiled down to:
My solution was to go to the BIOS, and disable USB 2.0 support. This means missing out the 480Mbit/sec that USB 2.0 allows,and take the 12 Mbit/sec... But at least Linux doesn't crash. Alternatively, simply make sure, this way or another, that the ehci-hcd module isn't ever loaded. It's this module that appears to hang.
As a matter of fact, this shouldn't be much of a surprise: This module is considered quite experimental. I only wonder what it does in a mainstream distro. (RH 7.3 in my case)
