Hello, i've just tried this. The ses device is not present when i 
disable it at boot time, but the problem persists, if i unplug the USB 
cord (no matter if the partition is mounted or not) the OS just freezes. 
So i guess it is not related to the ses driver.

This are the dmesg lines of this experiment:
