killing a 'D' process



i have a process waiting for data on a device that doesn't exist
anymore (USB). now the process is listed as uninterruptibly sleeping.
i want to get rid of it, but kill -9 doesn't do anything, the process
remains.

what must i do to kill this process? it can't be that i can get
a process to lock into the scheduler so as to not get out anymore...

thanks,
