Hey, thanks for the reply.
Turns out I was right about the diagnostic. 2.5 *did* *not* *unload*
*ehci*. So after the reboot all usb1-aware systems (bios, linux 2.4,
etc) found usb components that expected usb2 commands. David Brownell
send me a patch that forced ehci unload at shutdown (via a reboot
notifier) and all's been well since. So it was a real 2.5 bug.
Sure the hardware could have moped up usb remains better, but since
other evil OSes cleanup their usb stack correctly, I guess they didn't
bother (plus I suspect it would have made boot times a bit longer).
Anyway, closing one of the first ten bugzilla bugs at last one feels
very good:)
