[Bug 1052064] Re: External USB hard disks are not seen when connected to docking station

 

Myriam Schweingruber, as per
http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update is available for
your BIOS (1.38). If you update to this, 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

Thank you for your understanding.

       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

Title:
  External USB hard disks are not seen when connected to docking station

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since using Quantal the external hard disks connected through the
  docking station of my Thinkpad X220 are not recognized anymore, they
  don't even show up in /dev/disk/. The hard disks are usable when
  connecting directly to the laptop with the same USB cable.

  This is a regression since Precise as it has always worked before.
