[Bug 51771] Ubuntu crashes when plugging in a USB device

[DktrKranz]

Public bug reported:

I noticed a strange behaviour when plugging in a USB device in Dapper. As soon as I plug in any device, system freezes completely beyond any recovery. Disabling hal everything works fine.
It should not a kernel-related bug because I was running the same kernel in Breezy without any problem.

Please find here attached lspci and /proc/cpuinfo output

If you need more info, please let me know.
