Exactly what information are you looking for ?
It's an Abit BP6 mainboard, 
usb controller: 00:07.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4
USB (rev 01)

umm lets see, as I said i'm running linux kernel 2.3.99-pre9 with the
cpia 1.0 drivers (from sourceforge) copied into the kernel tree.. 
I have an hpt366 UDMA/ATA66 ide controller onboard in use, i suppose its
possible that the deadlock occurs when it's reading from the video4linux
device and writing to disk at the same time ?

let me know if there is anything you want me to try or any /proc output
you want to look at...
I'll try Arjans patch next (bedankt!) and see if it does anything
different...
