I arrived at the computer today, to find khubd in D state again, but
unfortunately, it does not show up in Alt-SysRq-T output. Do kernel
threads show up there at all? 2.6.18.8-0.1 with SUSE patches on openSUSE
10.2.
I had stopped usbmon before however, so I don't know what the events
have been leading to this lockup. Sorry. I'll leave usbmon running now.
