See http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb-users&m=118648557203179&w=2 Of course, this means there's liable to be something wrong with the way kexec interacts with uhci-hcd or the other drivers sharing the same IRQ. Failure to call the shutdown() method could cause the problem. But I don't see why using an xterm should make any difference (unless the only device being used was a mouse, and it was not in use while X wasn't running). Alan Stern
