USB cycling problem
Thanks for the help,
The kernel doesn't crash, only the USB part does (not detecting new devices that are plugged in).
I thought of using modules as well, but then I have to get the sourcecode, recompile the kernel and on the next RPI upgrade the problem will reappear.
I think it is unavoidable that I will have to reboot each time this happens (which will probably be about once a day)
I always thought the advantage of Linux over windows was that you didn't have to reboot to resolve silly problems like this...

REBOOT(8) System Manager's Manual REBOOT(8)
NAME
reboot - reboot the system immediately
SYNOPSIS
reboot [-f]
DESCRIPTION
Reboot can be used to reboot the system after installing a new kernel. It does not inform the users, but does log it's actions in
/usr/adm/wtmp and /usr/adm/authlog. The system is then rebooted with the reboot(2) systemcall.
If the -f flag is not given then all processes are sent terminate signals to give them a chance to die peacefully before the reboot() call.
If the wtmp file exists, reboot logs itself as if it were a shutdown. This is done to prevent last(1) from talking about system-crashes.
Reboot is registered as is in the authlog file.
Reboot can only be executed by the super-user. Any other caller will be refused, either by reboot(8) or by reboot(2).
SEE ALSO
reboot(2), shutdown(8), halt(8), boot(8).
BUGS
The error message's given by reboot are not always useful. There are several routines that can fail, but which are not fatal for the pro-
gram.
