USB devices definitely have flaky drivers. 2.6.9-1.1049_FC4 (running on FC3) is going a bit better for me but I still got it to oops. However, FC3 kernels would reliably oops every time you unplugged a CD drive. Now it seems I have to do something trickier (like unplug a mounted hard drive). I'm hoping that since all the stuff is there now for people to easily plug and unplug and have things work automatically, the driver bugs will get more visibility and fixage. Havoc
