Can you provide any more details? I have been using hotplug with USB
devices daily on each of 2.6.2 through 2.6.4-rc1 without any freezes.
The only problem I've noticed is my non-hotplug issue with USB on my
notebook, using my wireless mouse. After a cycle of plug/unplug/plug
etc, the kernel starts spewing hundreds of messages a second about uhci
issues and makes the machine very slow. Doesn't fix until I remove the
uhci module. Has nothing to do with devfs or hotplug however. Both of
those work perfectly [for me] on four different machines.
