Hello Chris

I have installed the updated BIOS (1301).

I am now using Ubuntu 13.04, with stock kernel 3.8.0-30-generic x86_64. This test is with the stock kernel.

The card reader continues to work as expected if the BIOS USB setting "xHCI" is set to "enabled", as per comment #6. This means that when an SD card is inserted, I get a dialogue box asking me what action I want to take.

If I set xHCI to "auto" in the BIOS then when I insert an SD card into the card reader, it takes some seconds before anything happens. The green light on the card reader then starts flashing, as if the card is being read. Nothing happens on screen. The green light keeps flashing intermittently for several minutes. The card does not show up in the file browser. dmesg shows a series of errors, similar to those in comment #2. After a few minutes (as I was typing this) the computer went into a kernel panic (flashing lights on the keyboard; dumped to terminal; no response).

Output of the command showing bios version & date:

oliver@correa$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
[sudo] password for oliver:
1301

Please let me know if I should repeat this test with the latest upstream kernel.

Regards
Oliver
