I can confirm the same problem happening on a Thinkpad X61 running a fully-updated 10.04. As other users have confirmed, rolling the kernel back to 2.6.32-32 fixes the problem.

I have noticed that the crash doesn't happen with ALL external usb stroage. My PSPgo does not trigger the crash. My WD Elements 3.5" external 1.5TB drive formatted NTFS does not trigger the crash, but two 2.5" WD Elements drives (320GB abd 500GB - formatted NTFS) both crash the system when "removed safely".

Let me know if there's any more info I can provide.

@Uschiekid : You probably still have the older kernel installed. One way to use a different kernel is to use Startup Manager to select the old one to boot from. If you don't already have it installed, install the package "startupmanager" from either Synaptic or the command line, then run it from the System/Administration menu. A window will come up where you can select the default kernel to boot into. Select 2.6.32-32 - the one that DOESN'T end with "recovery mode", close, and reboot.
