Jotham, as per http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5079569#N1714 an update is available for your BIOS (F.1B). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags removed: needs-full-computer-model ** Tags added: bios-outdated-f.1b ** Summary changed: - MP4 player does not mount + [HP Pavilion dv6-6023tx Entertainment Notebook PC] MP4 player does not mount -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991822 Title: [HP Pavilion dv6-6023tx Entertainment Notebook PC] MP4 player does not mount Status in The Linux Kernel: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have an MP4 player (Dick Smith Electronics MP3 player 8GB DSE N19 A8705 specifically) that should be automounting but will not automount. Also when I do a restart when the device is plugged into the usb 2.0 port the computer won't get past to the bios screen. EDIT: strangely it will now. ?? the device still functions, as do my usb ports. Also Windows 7 reports the device as malfuctioning if you attach it while it is powered on (It must be off when you plug it in).
