I'm using Opensuse 11.2 with the latest updates. Linux 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop x86_64 kernel on a Dell Inspiron 1545 and have all the KDE4 eye candy turned off.
When I insert a USB drive, either flash or hard drive, I get a window eventually asking me to choose what to do. I open the drive in file manager, click on a folder and 6 seconds after the contents are displayed the folder goes blank. Neither Dolphin nor Konqueror can see the drives without replugging. Same failure every time. My Computer indicates the drives are attached as /dev/sdc1 but cannot view contents.
Open a terminal and type "tailf /var/log/messages"; then attach the disk, and when it fails, post the messages that were written to the terminal.

Richard,
With 11.2 x86_64, I experienced exactly the problems you describe. I would attach via usb either a second hard disk or a usb memory stick and it would work fine for a little while. Then without warning or reason, the device would simply disconnect without warning and crash. The curious part of the problem is that whatever was happening was causing corruption in the usb device when the disconnect occurred that would then have to be fixed with fsck. I was also suffering the same corruptions when the 11.2 box would connect via ssh or sftp to remote filesystems. With my 11.2 i586 box, I experienced none of this from the 32-bit machine.
I never got any answers, so with this issue, I still don't know what was happening. Now, I have dropped back to 11.0 for now until I can find another laptop to try it on. Let me know if you make any breakthroughs, Thanks
It is working well on a Dell studio 1745 using the same kernel. I frequently use usb device, either flash or disk, to transfer files to other computers and have not had anything similar happen. Have you tried turning Dbus off and mounting manually?
