usb-ohci preventing reboot on Cobalt Raq550

usb-ohci preventing reboot on Cobalt Raq550

[Steve Hill]

I'm having a problem with the usb-ohci module under the 2.4.18 kernel 
running on Cobalt Raq 550's - if the module is loaded then the machine 
doesn't reboot.  "shutdown -r now" shuts everything down as usual, the 
kernel displays "Restarting system." on the console, but then it just sits 
there.  If I rmmod the module before shutting down then it does exactly 
the same, but after the "Restarting system." message it does actually 
reboot.
Has anyone come across this before?  I really don't know what to look for 
in the ohci driver code that would prevent the system from rebooting, so 
any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Does 2.4.19 show the same behavior?
