Alan,

Hmm, I thought /var/log/messages would keep everything that happened. Or is 
dmesg more detailed?

OK, except that it would not get disconnected from a small amount of data. It 
typically takes at
many GB of copying to break USB connection. I tried to do it yesterday but 
after an hour of
running my usbburn test the computer completely froze with 
ata2 : command 0x25 timeout, stat 0x50 host_stat 0x24
messages and I had to push the power button.

Yes, third patch (not yours). 

I tried to disable ACPI. If I give acpi=off option as a kernel parameter, the 
laptop would boot
extremely slow and eventually those ata2 timeout messages appear and the boot 
never completes (at
least I had no patience to wait and pushed the power button). acpid is also 
running as a service.
I stopped it, ran my test and in an hour the computer froze again with ata2 
timeout messages.
Perhaps,
I should rewrite the test so that it deals only with USB and not with internal 
disk to try to
isolate the problem.
