Your thoughts. > Flash drives shouldn't use much power, but there could be issues with power management on USB ports and devices. Have you tried USB3 flash drives from multiple vendors? Can you boot a different distro from a live CD/DVD? If you find one that works you can compare module versions and options (quirks). Most systems seem to use usb_storage and uas modules. usb_storage has a quirks parameter. With luck someone with the same usb chipset has found the quirk setting you need and put the details where Goggle can find them. -- George N. White III
