usb-storage kills lilo (2.6-test[67])

(sorry for the flashy subject, but I could not come up with another one
:-)

Hi, I got problems with usb-storage and linux-2.6-test[67]. AFAICS,
test5 works fine (still have to retest to make sure).

Problem is that inserting my USB flash memory disk makes /dev/sda (and
/dev/sda1) appear in /proc/partitions, but removing it does not remove
the entries from /proc/partitions. lilo is reading /proc/partitions
(verified trough strace) and dies because /dev/sda is gone.

Possibly related to that is the next time I insert the flash disk, is
shows up as /dev/sdb1 (and adds this to /proc/partiotions, too).

System is a Debian-sid updated today morning (see below for details).

Please CC (I read the kernel list but not the USB one).

so long
Norbert
