It may have to do with the order in which you plug in the devices.  And
the symptoms may still show up in the dmesg log without actually causing
an oops.  The usb-storage errors quoted above, for instance, are a dead

Probably your distribution doesn't mount it by default.  Do:

	mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
