Booting Ubuntu 15.04 amd64 kernel "Linux version 3.19.0-16-generic
(buildd@komainu) (gcc version 4.9.2 (Ubuntu 4.9.2-10ubuntu13) )
#16-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 30 16:09:58 UTC 2015" on a Samsung RF711-S08
laptop (Sandy Bridge) from a USB3 stick connected to the USB3 port on
the righthand side, the boot stalls at the Ubuntu splash screen (with
the dots), with the USB3 stick LED showing no activity, eventually
dropping to the initramfs console. If I unplug and replug the USB3 stick
during the stall period, the LED shows activity and the boot proceeds.

The same USB3 stick boots on another laptop without any problems.

Excerpts from dmesg:

Recognition of the USB3 port:

[    1.643737] xhci_hcd 0000:04:00.0: xHCI Host Controller

Failure to initialize the USB3 device:

[    1.847589] xhci_hcd 0000:04:00.0: Error while assigning device slot ID

[    1.847600] usb usb2-port1: couldn't allocate usb_device

Replugged the USB3 device during the boot stall:

[   13.861689] usb 2-1: new SuperSpeed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
[   13.881832] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0951, idProduct=162b

[   13.885901] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage

I assume the bug is at 1.847589.
