OK, I just compiled a 2.6.27-rc5 (taken directly from kernel.org) with the
config file that came with the ubuntu 2.6.27-2 kernel.

At least for the first some minutes of testing, everything seems fine with
the USB. Machine still works.  :-)

But maybe it's too early to tell whether the problem is gone. Let me work
a day or two with the machine to see whether the problem could still occur
sporadically. I'll let you know as soon as I observe any problems. As
long as
you don't hear anything from me, machine is running well.

In a german computer magazine I read that the SB600 is notorious for being
ridiculously slow with USB.



BTW: When compiling the kernel I got a warning message I am not familiar
with
at the end of the compilation process:

    WARNING: modpost: Found 9 section mismatch(es).
    To see full details build your kernel with:
    'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'

Whatever this means, it could be caused by the config file taken from
the ubuntu
kernel. I've given up compiling my own kernels one or two years ago and
had no
appropriate and up to date config file.  Furthermore, to be able to
directly compare
it seemed reasonable to use the same config file. Maybe some ubuntu
extensions caused
that warning message.
