[mdlug] USB dilemma

[Stan Green]

By any chance are you running lm_sensors? I just had a lock-up issue with an 
8GB USB drive and SuSE 10.1. I had recently turn on lm_sensors and so I 
turned it back off and I have not experienced any more lock-ups. I did not do 
any further research on the issue. I just decide I needed my USB drive more 
than sensors.

HTH,
