I have exactly the same problem
This happens whenever i boot machine with reader on
or usbstick plugged in.
It happens with newer kernels as well.
It is little bit annoying to reset machine just because i forgot
to switch off the printer which has card reader equipped ;)
some goofing with printks suggests ACPI as a place whenre it freezes.
But i got no proof for that.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Could you both please test 2.6.22 (or 2.6.23, soon) and if the bug is still
present, raise a report against acpi at bugzilla.kernel.org?
We'd be particularly internested in knowing if any earlier 2.6 kernel
worked OK and if so, which version(s).
Thanks.

I tried this with prebuilt Debian package linux-image-2.6.21-2-686
from "testing" and linux-image-2.6.22-2-686 from "unstable".
The problem is still present in both versions. Will file a bugzilla
report as requested.
