Hello,

what are the options needed to be enabled in kernel config in order to get usb 3.0 working (2.0 is working fine)? I can't find it myself. Is there anything more that needs to be done?

Thanks!

I don't have any USB3 devices yet (soon will get something...very soon indeed...) but supposedly just CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD should do it...

Hi,
device drivers->Usb support->xHCI HCD (USB 3.0)
the text tag is:CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD

On my kernel (3.2.12) it still says experimental. I haven't actually got any 3.0 devices to test on, so can't say how the quality is...

I finally got to test USB3, it seems to work...
There were some debug statements:

Code:

but I was able to get 182MB/sec to that disk through USB3. No, this isn't going to be a permanent install but good for testing...

Okay so it seems that my USB 3.0 ports are powered up now, after enabling those options in kernel. The thing is that i still cannot mount my external hard drive. It acts weird. fdisk -l reports other two drives and then freezes for about 10 seconds and then displays my external drive. Automounter fail to mount it for some reason. I've tried to modify fstab as this device is reported to be uba1 whatever that means, but with no success.

Any ideas?
