I had this happen to me on a G4 (DVD) while trying to get a SCSI DLT drive to 
work. Having started the backup I started X. At the point KDE played the 
startup "jingle" the audio stuttered ( I have a usb audio interface) and 
EVERY usb device completely died. All the lights went out on the hub and 
unplugging re-plugging the devices would not work. I had to log into the 
machine remotely and reboot.

I put it down to problems with the SCSI card which was an old 2940.
Now I am not so sure.
This was with a 2.4.20-pre something kernel on YDL 2.3
