It seems to be something different from the bug I was talking about: I have no USB key connected. Did you try to check your key for badblocks and look at dmesg upon insertion? I am not sure just any key could crash your box like this … must be faulty in some way. (I am *not* saying that crashing your box on faulty USB key insertion is a normal behaviour, but a particular key which works when it feels like it is suspicious) Regards, Gaël
