Was it mounted at the time? (either manually, or by HAL)
No.

The same Oops with 2.6.10-rc1, seems to work fine with 2.6.10-rc1-bk14 (tried multiple plug in/outs in a row). However hal in FC3 doesn't work with 2.6.10-rc1-bk14, it will not recognize USB devices :(

Hm, scsi bug, not a usb-storage bug.
Can you re-test this with the latest rhel4 kernel at: http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/RHEL4/RPMS.kernel/
My father has almost the same problem, except that it seems to only happen with the latest (681) kernel, and not 678 or earlier. Also, the Oops happens upon shutdown, not immediately upon removing the USB device. If the device is left attached until after shutdown, the Oops doesn't happen. Below is a system log attachment. The device is pulled at 14:07:31, and then the shutdown is started at 14:07:36, when the Oops happens. The machine hangs, and at 14:08:09 a Ctrl-Alt-Del successfully reboots the machine (sometimes the machine is totally hung and this doesn't work). His machine is FC3 with all standard updates applied.

Still had issues with older releases, but the latest RHEL4 test kernel (2.6.9-1.906_EL) works like a charm. Thank You davej! Running on it right now.
