I'm running debian 7. Linux foobar 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.60-1+deb7u3 x86_64 GNU/Linux. I have a Passport drive which fails on the USB3 connector. It works fine on USB2. It also works fine as USB3 on my Lenovo laptop. The output of lspci -v & lsusb -v is at http://outtopastureenterprises.com/device.txt When I plug in the device to the USB3 port I get the following in /var/log/messages. If I wait long enough, eventually it seems to connect. This can take tens of minutes. I don't know what else to include. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks. --Len Sep 23 17:49:22 foobar kernel: [23209.332493] usb 4-1: new SuperSpeed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd Sep 23 17:49:22 foobar kernel: [23209.352862] usb 4-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1058, idProduct=0820 Sep 23 17:49:22 foobar kernel: [23209.352875] usb 4-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=5 Sep 23 17:49:22 foobar kernel: [23209.352884] usb 4-1: Product: My Passport 0820 Sep 23 17:49:22 foobar kernel: [23209.352890] usb 4-1: Manufacturer: Western Digital Sep 23 17:49:22 foobar kernel: [23209.352897] usb 4-1: SerialNumber: 575835314142334434373334 Sep 23 17:49:22 foobar kernel: [23209.356231] scsi9 : usb-storage 4-1:1.0 Sep 23 17:49:22 foobar mtp-probe: checking bus 4, device 4: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:07.0/0000:02:00.0/usb4/4-1" Sep 23 17:49:22 foobar mtp-probe: bus: 4, device: 4 was not an MTP device Sep 23 17:49:23 foobar kernel: [23210.356893] scsi 9:0:0:0: Direct-Access WD My Passport 0820 1007 PQ: 0 ANSI: 6 Sep 23 17:49:23 foobar kernel: [23210.357131] scsi 9:0:0:1: Enclosure WD SES Device 1007 PQ: 0 ANSI: 6 Sep 23 17:49:23 foobar kernel: [23210.358448] sd 9:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg5 type 0 Sep 23 17:49:23 foobar kernel: [23210.358724] ses 9:0:0:1: Attached Enclosure device Sep 23 17:49:23 foobar kernel: [23210.358922] ses 9:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg6 type 13 Sep 23 17:49:54 foobar kernel: [23240.945357] usb 4-1: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd Sep 23 17:49:54 foobar kernel: [23240.962978] xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called with disabled ep ffff8801f234f2c0 Sep 23 17:49:54 foobar kernel: [23240.962992] xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called with disabled ep ffff8801f234f300 Sep 23 17:50:25 foobar kernel: [23271.953310] usb 4-1: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd Sep 23 17:50:25 foobar kernel: [23271.971070] xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called with disabled ep ffff8801f234f2c0 Sep 23 17:50:25 foobar kernel: [23271.971085] xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called with disabled ep ffff8801f234f300 Sep 23 17:50:25 foobar kernel: [23271.973226] sd 9:0:0:0: [sde] 1953458176 512-byte logical blocks: (1.00 TB/931 GiB) Sep 23 17:50:56 foobar kernel: [23302.993335] usb 4-1: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd Sep 23 17:50:56 foobar kernel: [23303.010894] xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called with disabled ep ffff8801f234f2c0 Sep 23 17:50:56 foobar kernel: [23303.010909] xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called with disabled ep ffff8801f234f300 Sep 23 17:51:27 foobar kernel: [23333.973362] usb 4-1: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd Sep 23 17:51:27 foobar kernel: [23333.990995] xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called with disabled ep ffff8801f234f2c0 Sep 23 17:51:27 foobar kernel: [23333.991009] xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called with disabled ep ffff8801f234f300 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
