You better get new KERNEL like 2.6.1 and compile it.. as it has better support ..
and ur computer is hanging when USB is connected is normal.
So what u have to do is compile new kernel with right option selected ... and make sure that following are enabled as module

Code: [Select]

ohci-hcd, uhci-hcd, usbdevfs, usbnet, usb-storage, scsi, ntfs, vfat, visor, usbserialTo see how to compile u can give look to Kernel compilation and upgradation (http://www.linuxsolved.com/forums/ftopic50.html)

then all u need is to load specific module and u r up. and for further help abt kernel ask in kernel section.
