Humm, I've got an old tyan S1590 mobo in my gateway machine whose 
usb chips can't handle anything more complex than a usb mouse.  
Trying to run a scanner on it gets me a totally locked, hardware 
reset only, machine.  Messy with ext2...

This smells like that same sort of a problem to me.  Karls too 
maybe?
