usb3.0 issue

[Pascal Dupuis]

Hello,

I installed QUBES 3.0RC onto a USB3.0 hard drive. Yet it is still recognised as a 2.0 drive.

It seems xhci-hid module must be added to the initramfs image. I tried a few ways to download the linux-xen-kernel in the dom0 console
sudo yumdownloader kernel-qubes-vm
sudo yumdownloader kernel-qubes-vm.x86_64
sudo yumdownloader kernel-qubes-vm.x86_64.rpm

But none of them worked. What is the right command ?

Regards

Pascal

Try this:
sudo dracut --add-drivers xhci-hcd --force
(or xhci_hcd)

First of all you don't need to download kernel package - it is already
installed (your system have started, right?). But if you want to
download some package in dom0, take a look at qubes-dom0-update command.
There is no other (simple) way, as dom0 have no direct network access.

Hello Marek,

thank for your fast answer. I looked into the /boot/config-3.18 file associated to the kernel, and the XHCI is already built-in. This means there is some issue with the USB3.0:
1) dmesg|grep -i XHCI shows the xhci module is loaded;  the USB3.0 is supported
2) dmesg|grep -i MY_DRIVE_NAME shows it is identified as a USB3.0 device
3) lsusb shows the HD is put on bus #4, which is an aggregate of a 2.0 bus and 3.0 bus. Yet the HD is identified as supporting the 2.1 protocol.

I'll look further on this.

Right. Forgot this point.

Found it. Vendor ASMedia, rev 1042. Blacklisted by the kernel.
