USB 3.0 xHCI driver fails to load no USB 3.0 ports work

[porzech]

As stated in summary xhci driver fails to load as a result no devices connected to USB 3.0 ports get recognized (they are powered up normally)
I think this is a relevant part of the dmesg (successfull USB 2.0 start followed by USB 3.0 xhci load failure
Ports are working ok in Windows 7 x64
Laptop is set to UEFI no secure bot

Tesetd with newest mainline kernel 3.7.0-030700rc2-generic under UEFI mode USB 3.0 still not working

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest upstream kernel. Would it be possible for you to open an upstream bug report[0]? That will allow the upstream Developers to examine the issue, and may provide a quicker resolution to the bug.

Please follow the instructions on the wiki page[0]. The first step is to email the appropriate mailing list. If no response is received, then a bug may be opened on bugzilla.kernel.org.

[porzech (porzech)]

I'v tested Ubuntu and mainline kernels.
In UEFI mode there is a problem loading xHCI module thus no USB 3.0 support.
In bios compatibility mode (no UEFI) ports work ok.

I have the same problem on a HP Elitebook 8470p running Debian Wheezy, both 3.2 as 3.7 kernel. I opened this thread upstream: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.usb.general/77179

[eric pfaffhauser (e-pfaffhauser)]

Same for me with everything "latest and greatest" and “UEFI mode without CSM”:
- Linux version 3.8.0-030800rc5-generic (root@gomeisa) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) ) #201301251535 SMP Fri Jan 25 20:36:24 UTC 2013
- efi: EFI v2.10 by HPQ
- DMI: Hewlett-Packard HP ProBook 6570b/17AB, BIOS 68ICE Ver. F.32 12/05/2012

seems to be an ACPI-bug. HP: fix this!

Tested kernel parameters:
- acpi_osi=Linux -> nothing
- pci=nocrs -> nothing
- pci=noacpi -> breaks other hardware, but enables USB3 ports

thanks frederik!

using kernel parameter

acpi=noirq

solve this issue on hp 8570p without breaking other hardware

works now with kernel 3.8.5. download from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

[HRJ (harshad-rj)]

Going by comment #16, if it works in kernel 3.8.5, when can I expect it to be available on the 13.04 repos?

Or is it too late for 13.04? In which case, I can shift to the kernel-ppa.

[Julian Wiedmann (jwiedmann)]

porzech,

could you please test this with the latest kernel for your release from -updates?

[Ben West (bewest)]

3.8.5 from mainline kernel is broken.

[Ben West (bewest)]

I've got a system76 galago ultrapro machine; adding acpi=noirq disables keyboard and mouse.

[Ákos Maróy (akos-maroy)]

I have the same issue on an HP Envy 15 laptop, this used to work with earlier kernels

If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.
