test12-pre7 has a number of hotplug problems. I think what you're
seeing is a deadlock where keventd is waiting on itself in
call_usermodehelper() :(
And yes, when you shutdown the system in this state it oopses. I'm
not sure why it was doing that - it shouldn't have. hmmm...
Could you please test this stuff?
