to be honest i also experienced something similar: when i plug in my external 2.5'' disk after some time (from 30 sec to 5 min) it gets mad and doesn't use it anymore i thought i was something of my configuration and didn't used it on gentoo anymore, but now i feel that it isn't only a misconf

Yes, this is clear. Well I have never seen this, but (just another guess), as you seem to use KDE, does KDE use ivman or does it handle automatical mounting by its own mechanism? If so than maybe you should check some KDE setting for this. The best thing Ican say is: try to enable ivman/u
