Bug#617639: [linux-2.6] linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: After connecting a USB stick, the screen becomes black or blinking sometimes
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-5
Severity: important
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Sometimes when I connect a USB stick, I got a black screen or a blinking screen a little like with a TV when the reception is bad.
When the screen is blinking, I found that I was still able to switch to virtual terminal and here also the screen is blinking.
It is also still possible to reboot with the magic keys.
Here is what I found in /var/log/messages :
