Yes, please. Does /var/log/dpkg.log* give any hints as to when this problem first appeared? If no obvious explanation jumps out, I'd recommend trying some kernels from snapshot.debian.org to find which version introduced the bug. Looks usb-related. Does unloading the ohci_hcd module avoid trouble?

Please use an attachment next time. Thanks much, and hope that helps, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
