I just thought of something... Are there any signals that get transmitted via usb to tell connected devices to "go into sleep mode" or any "power off hard devices" power saving modes. Could these be telling sheeva to "take a nap, poweroff"?
The unplug sounds like the serial uart hardware/code cannot handle a garbled transmission when uplugging, or because the power sensors whig out.
Any chance someone goofed up and made the serial usb a power suppling usb socket? power from pc and power from laptop could be an issue.
