Hi list, I have a Toshiba Canvio external HD drive attached via USB 3.0 to an Asus Fatality board, but the two do not quite get along. Sometimes forever, sometimes just for about 20 minutes, all I get is (in /var/log/messages and similarly in dmesg):

When I detach and re-attach the usb cable, I get a reasonable connection sequence: Sep 24 23:34:09 calcox kernel: [19839.832698] usb 4-4: new SuperSpeed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd Sep 24 23:34:09 calcox mtp-probe: checking bus 4, device 4: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb4/4-4" Sep 24 23:34:09 calcox kernel: [19839.850108] usb 4-4: New USB device found, idVendor=0480, idProduct=d010 Sep 24 23:34:09 calcox kernel: [19839.850110] usb 4-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Sep 24 23:34:09 calcox kernel: [19839.850111] usb 4-4: Product: External USB 3.0 Sep 24 23:34:09 calcox kernel: [19839.850112] usb 4-4: Manufacturer: TOSHIBA Sep 24 23:34:09 calcox kernel: [19839.850113] usb 4-4: SerialNumber: 20130705086424 Sep 24 23:34:09 calcox kernel: [19839.850682] scsi9 : usb-storage 4-4:1.0 Sep 24 23:34:09 calcox mtp-probe: bus: 4, device: 4 was not an MTP device Sep 24 23:34:19 calcox kernel: [19850.096409] scsi 9:0:0:0: Direct-Access TOSHIBA External USB 3.0 0201 PQ: 0 ANSI: 6 Sep 24 23:34:19 calcox kernel: [19850.097754] sd 9:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg7 type 0 Sep 24 23:34:19 calcox kernel: [19850.110871] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdg] Very big device.

If I remove the power from the external device, the messages go on. Apparently, USB power is enough to try to establish a connection. If I connect the drive to a USB 2.0 port, the problem persists. lspci yields the relevant entry root@calcox:~# lspci -v -s 00:14 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Lynx Point USB xHCI Host Controller (rev 05) (prog-if 30 [XHCI]) Subsystem: ASRock Incorporation Device 8c31 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 44 Memory at f3220000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [70] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [80] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/8 Maskable- 64bit+ Kernel driver in use: xhci_hcd The Debian installation is up-to-date Wheezy root@calcox:~# uname -a Linux calcox 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.60-1+deb7u3 i686 GNU/Linux I have searched around a bit, and most solutions revolve around the uas (USB-attached SCSI) module, but that is not loaded, according to lsmod.
