Hi,
I've noticed some general instability with plugging in or removing USB
devices with FreeBSD 7.x, even when the devices are not actively in use.
I had this happen with umass and ucom devices 3 times today. The machine
hangs solid, there are no obvious signs of a panic or trap to DDB. I
can't provide backtraces unfortunately -- these hangs happen on both my
laptop and desktop, and I usually have X running -- if I had more
specific information, I'd open a PR.
Again, there seems to be no reason why this should happen, the devices
are off-the-shelf consumer items known to work with existing drivers,
and have been repeatedly used in other OSes without these hangs
happening; consider this an "anecdotal report".
[For some reason my IBM laptop will often not allow me to break into DDB
on a driver related panic, and will just immediately reboot -- I lack
free time to track down exactly why this could be.
My desktop has a USB keyboard and this appears not to be supported by
DDB, I ordered a PS/2 keyboard which hasn't arrived, but that's another
story.]
thanks
BMS
