Thanks for the notification of the new BIOS. As I said, I had the same problem on another computer that was not a Dell M4600 (not even a dell), so I don't think the BIOS update would help. Moreover, I cannot test it on my dell M4600 because the problem has been solved with blacklist uas (and then mount and unblacklist). I would need to do a new installation to test for it.
So, I cannot say anything on the M4600, but for my other computer, I did a new installation with raring, and it worked at first try. I don't know if the problem is solved natively on M4600 with raring, but it is with my HP... Lets say it is solved if this affects nobody else on quantal or raring... -- 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/1085889 Title: [Dell Precision M4600] Cannot mount USB3 external drive while plugged before boot Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This bugs is exactly the same than explained here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/901215 But I am now under Quantal 64bits with this kernel : Ubuntu 3.5.0-19.30-generic 3.5.7 To summarise : If I plug my external drive on the USB3.0 after boot, it is recognized. But it is not the case when plugged before boot. I tried to blacklist uas. And then it works. But is "uas" not usefull for anything else ? So it could be good if the fix could also be released for quantal --- ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: seb 2332 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: seb 2332 F.... pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=e8bd2e1e-d910-4f35-bf7a-3a48ff7d5867 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-04-22 (224 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012) MachineType: Dell Inc.
