[Bug 1050352] Re: [Gigabyte P55A-UD4] External USB 3.0 hard drive randomly disconnects and connects

 

I just upgraded from Raring to Saucy (actually a mint user), I also have
the VL80x USB3.0 chipset on my EVGA Z68 FTW motherboard.  In raring the
USB 3.0 was flakey, a usb3.0 device had to be connected at boot time,
for it work, USB 2.0 worked without any issues on that controller.
Since the upgrade I could not USB 2.0 or 3.0 to work on the Via
Contoller (USB 3.0 ports).  It was completly unresponsive.  I came
across this bug, and tried what Christopher suggested.

I installed 3.12-Saucy (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/v3.12-saucy/).  Since I have installed the 3.12 kernel, the
Via VL80x controller works perfectly.  It even fixed the annoying
softlock cpu0 error I was getting at boot time.

*warning* If you have an nvidia GPU, after installing the kernel, it
could not build the kernel module for the driver, I had to install the
xorg-edgers ppa; https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa and
install the nvidia 331 driver.
