halt upon usb removal

["Nuno Magalhães" <morceguinho@gmail.com>]

Greetz,

Prior to figuring out what was wrong with the deb64 netinst (needed
-noacpi) i was using M$ XP Pro x64 without any major issues. The only
annoying one was that sometimes, after unmounting a usb-drive, once
i'd remove it from the PC it would shutdown. Only sometimes. I thought
it was a Redmond issue and eventually got Etch up and running
dualbooted. At the moment i'm using gnome and it just did the same
thing: i unmounted the drive and once i removed the usb-stick gnome
shutdown (halt), as if i had chosed to shut it down.

So, if it's not OS-related... Could it be drivers?
My board is an Asus M2NPV-VM, any suggestions?
Could if be something in the board itself?
