[gentoo-user] USB freezes the machine...

Hi list,
     some days ago i've upgraded to udev-103 (stable version). Since
then i've experienced complete freezes of the machine (nothing
responds, even external ping on the network) when USB devices are
mounted. In case nothing is connected to the USB drive the machine can
stay online without *any* freeze.
The only thing i've done is to create local udev rules to facilitate
the mounting of these devices: this is an example of its structure. As
you know as of udev-089 some keyword has changed (as SYSFS--> ATTRS).
Before this upgrade everything was working correctly.

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb",KERNEL=="sd*",ATTRS{serial}=="634418122141473",ATTRS{product}=="128MB",NAME="%k",SYMLINK="chiavina"

The emerge --info is in the attachment.

Any one has experiences such an hard lock?

Regards,
and have a nice 2007,
m
