The next piece of the puzzle:

No oops with 2.6.24-rc6 vanilla and the same kernel patched with TuxOnIce 3.0-rc3 for kernel 2.6.24-rc3. A minor nit was that I had to rebuild the xorg driver for the tablet to get it working.

No puzzle at all - the changeset in question is present in -rc3. As for
the errors - looks like it does indeed depend on the previous changeset.
After poking a bit in the archived thread, http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/24/19
appears to contain the previous one.

Bingo!

Those two patches solved the oops. I can remove and reconnnect the tablet without problems.

Berthold
