I just wanted you to know that you are not alone with this problem.
I've seen the same symptoms on my parents machine during the last 1-2 months
--> ie. keyboard hangs completely, mouse works and the host either hangs
completely sooner or later with only the following usb debug messages in
the logs (pasted below).

I believe that there is certainly some sort of bug in cinergyT2-driver
as I've not seen the hang happen whenever the cinergyT2 usb-receiver
has been disconnected from the machine.

Host configuration is:
2.6.22-rc4-git4 kernel + latest DVB drivers from v4l-dvb tree
(previously also tested with FC6 kernels with same symptoms)
MythTV-software (from devel SVN)

Asus P4P800-E motherboard (ich5 & PDC20378 sata-controllers)
1GB ram
Intel P4 2.8MHz
Terratec Cinergy T2 dvb-t receiver
