USB device insertion crash

Post by khilliard »

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with the IntensePC. I have a 60GB SSD drive a 8GB of RAM. When I hot remove some USB devices the IntensePC crashes with a kernel panic. Sometimes it crashes/freezes without any indication. Some USB ports are more problematic than others (for example, I don't use the right-most USB port on the front panel. In all cases the only recourse is hard reboot.

Any ideas on what can be causing this?

Do you face such scenarios with the Live systems as well?

I don't know what you mean by 'Live' system. I'm using a standard Ubuntu 12.04 desktop image. I'm running from a 60GB SSD drive. My problem is that plugging/unplugging usb devices can cause a crash/freeze.

You can find more about Live OS here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_CD
Please run some Live OS like Ubuntu Live, and try to reproduce your issue. It will help us to eliminate the software factor.
