Hi, I don't know the answer but I too have problems recently (weeks? months?). I have two HDs connected via a USB hub which I only power up and connect when I need them. One of those is also NTFS formatted. I'm also on x86_64. Sometimes when I connect or power on those drives I get a kernel oops, the first ones I had in a long time. I did somehow suspect usb drivers but it might also be ntfs-3g. However, if it works, it works. I copied a couple of GB around yesterday without issues, once I managed to power up, connect and had the drive show up without kernel panic. Sadly I have no idea how to track the error down. I would like try to re-format the disk but I need to get another one first.
