I know... Been working with computers for... Uh... 25 years ? > Getting something to work once doesn't mean the problem has been fixed.

I don't believe the hardware is broken, as it's been running for more than 2 years 100% stable with a 24/7/365 uptime. And with me plugging and unplugging USB devices... Never had a single problem of the kind with any 2.4.x kernel. Get those problems only with 2.6.x kernels, and, in 2.6.12, only when UP IO-APIC is enabled (which ran perfectly good in 2.4). So the problem is circled to 2.6 kernel, uhci_hcd and UP IO-APIC. > One thing you might try, time-consuming though it will be, is to remove or > disable as much hardware as possible from your system.

I can hardly remove my VIA chipset from the mobo, and the USB thing is in the VIA thing ;-)) And I'm afraid I won't have the time to play that much with hardware, besides the fact that this is supposed to be a server which usually has uptimes over 90 days rather than reboot-for-testing-the-damn-kernel-once-again ;-)) But I'm pretty sure this is no hardware problem, unless 2.6 considers "bad hardware" what 2.4 used to consider "nice hardware"...
