Hi,

I've just applied the mentioned patch to my 2.6.7 and result was 
unsatisfactory. The thing crashes in the same way as before. However, I had 
an impression that it worked a bit longer this time... But I could not study 
this in detail -- I have to reboot after each such crash -- something goes 
wrong in scsi subsystem of the kernel so that I cannot unload the usb-storage 
module. 

Regards,
Max
