I've been observing this bug in other kernel versions and other hardware
configurations, so I think it's easily reproductible.

Happens when I/O error on external ide <-> usb drives. Can be reproduced
by unplugging the usb cable while accessing the drive, or with a faulty
drive.

I don't think my real u2w scsi controllers would like the real scsi disks
being hot swapped, so I haven't tried there.

Regards.
