Bug Description
Hi,
Thanks for any help you can provide, and for fixing this ASAP.
System completely freezes (with numerous hard disk filesystem corruptions) only on kernel 2.6.32-33-generic, every time I right-click and "Safely remove" Seagate model 9SF2A4-500 external 1TB USB drive.
Don't think it happens to simple USB memory sticks, but not willing to further corrupt my system just to find out.
NOTE: Was running kernel 2.6.32-32-generic when I ran the "ubuntu-bug linux" that started =this= report. Do not have this problem with 32-32.
Get exactly the same behaviour on both my desktop and laptop Intel 32-bit systems. Both have Ubuntu 10.4.2 and the same two kernel versions.
I run System > Update Manager daily.
Have endured this for a couple weeks, expecting others more knowledgeable to report it, and a patch to the Kernel to be distributed.
Happy to answer further questions, but you will have to email me at
carl (dot) turney (at) orcon (dot) net (dot) nz
as I don't see any bug report ID # here, and not sure I can navigate back to the correct web page.
Thanks again,

Remember: The automated bug reporting system here tells you all about my kernel 2.6.32-32, which I last booted up in, and which does NOT have the problem. The problem lies in kernel 2.6.32-33.
Should I go through this whole process again, after booting into the buggy kernel?
Thanks, Carl
