Yeah I see those spurious interrupt messages as well on many of my copy
attempts.  Let me know when you check your code in and I will update my
sources and rebuild to see what we get.

My exact setup is a BeagleBone with external power connected via the
coaxial power port and also powered via USB from the FreeBSD 7 box it
is connected to for console access.  The current USB stick is directly
plugged into the PI.  It is a Staples 16GB Relay.  I have had the same
exact results with Verbatim and Emtec.

The only thing in my kernel not in the generic BB kernel is the
addition of these two options:

options         GEOM_RAID               # Soft RAID functionality.
options         GEOM_LABEL              # Provides labelization

I will note though that before I put these options and I was running
the Generic BeagleBone kernel I had the exact same issue.  I added the
above because I had some thoughts of maybe running raid, and I prefer
to mount by label names.
