Steffan Banhardt, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update is available for your BIOS (5ECN96WW). 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. ** Tags added: bio-outdated-5ecn96ww needs-upstream-testing regression- update ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - USB external drive not mounted automatically + [Lenovo Ideapad N581] USB external drive not mounted automatically -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1211243 Title: [Lenovo Ideapad N581] USB external drive not mounted automatically Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Since the update to 3.8.0-28 no external USB highspeed devices are mounted anymore. Falling back to 3.8.0-27 solves the problem on two separate machines. It seems that at least sometimes the device gets mounted after more than 6 minutes (see attached syslog).
