Apparently, this is a known issue with the AMD-VI IOMMU. The solution (according to the interwebs) is to add "iommu=soft" to the kernel command line (and disable the hardware IOMMU). Hopefully, the errors below are due to the lack of proper IOMMU and using the software IOMMU will help. > When IOMMU is disabled, I get along the lines of [ 2 OR 3 OR 4 OR 5 . > (randomnumber)]usb 3-5 device descriptor read/64, error -32. > Somehow, I've also generated an error along the lines of: [ 20.979743] > nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PMC unhandled INTR 0x44000000 > The only success I've had in dealing with this is when I tried to use > clonezilla, it was having serious problems.
