Hi Claudio, this issue is clearly caused by UAS.
if zcat /proc/config.gz | grep UAS # CONFIG_USB_UAS is not set is de-selected, everything's fine when this is selected (usb is compiled as a module here) the system crashes or hardlocks as soon as an USB 3.0 capable drive is connected. During bootup the system crashes as soon as the kernel module is loaded. This happened for me with 3.15.6 and 3.16.0 kernel (and 3.16-rc6). I've a different chipset but the symptoms are similar: 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI (rev 05) So the only solution to work with newer kernels right now is to de-select that option and re-compile the kernel. It doesn't help fix the problem but at least it mitigates the issues for now (crash).
