When i try of make a new filesystem on a new usb 2.0 mass device my laptop just freezes. I had this also when i power on a digital camera that is also usb 2.0. My laptop has usb 2.0. I'm using without problems a usb 1.0 mass device and mice.
What can i do to avoid this? I'm using the gentoo-sources 2.4.20-gentoo-r5
Are your USB 2.0 ports based on VIA devices?
There have been lots of VIA-related enhancements to the USB 2.0 code in later 2.4.21 kernels, so you might try a later kernel. (or an NEC-based card)
