Not sure if it will help, but I get this with kernel 2.6.17-10 when plugging in a USB cell phone. I also have tried different cell phones (Ericsson W600 and Nokia 6133), with same results: the system may run for a little while (it varies from a few seconds to minutes), then the mouse stops responding and the entire system is frozen - it doesn't respond to remote pings, so I assume it's completely gone.
I too have a USB keyboard and a mouse, and both phones have internal storage - this is where the similarity with USB memory comes in. The last few kernel log file entries are USB related: usb%%d: unregister 'rndis_host' usb-0000:00:10.3-1, RNDIS device unregister_netdevice: device usb%%/f155d800 never was registered rndis_host: proble of 4-1:1.9 failed with error -110 usbcore: registered new driver rndis_host .......and then we freeze!
