You're welcome :-) > Could you please plug your external SATA HDD into a USB 2.0 port, unplug all other USB devices... The problem is that I cannot unplug ALL other USB devices, because I need at least my USB keyboard to execute the command. I hope it helps also with the keyboard plugged in: USB 2.0 port: $ lsusb Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 004: ID 174c:5106 ASMedia Technology Inc.

What do you mean by "the one all the way at the bottom"? bottom of which directory? The daily current seems to be the same as the latest for natty... http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/linux-image-2.6.39-020639rc4-generic_2.6.39-020639rc4.201104191410_amd64.deb Would this be a right one? (I'll call it a day now - I'll come back on this issue, testing the kernel these days) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1031982 Title: USB 3.0 port does not work with external hard disk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1031982/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
