Public bug reported:
I have an Astrotek USB 3.0 internal card reader in my new computer,
plugged into the USB3 header on the mainboard. The reader is apparently
controlled by the Genesys gl3220 chip. It has two LEDs on the front: one
red to indicate power, the other green to indicate card
access/read/write. It also has a USB3 port on the front, which seems to
work fine with USB sticks.
I have a 16GB SD card from my camera. When I put it in the SD slot, I
would expect the card to be detected with the option given to open it in
Nautilus etc. Instead, the green light flashes on and off repeatedly.
dmesg reports a series of messages related to xHCI followed by
"Unhandled error code". I will attach an excerpt from dmesg from this
incident, which was reliably repeatable.
I have tried some different BIOS settings for the USB system:
- Firstly I changed xHCI from "Smart Auto" to "Enabled", logged in, then tested
again with an old 256MB SD card. This was mounted automatically but when I
tried to create a folder on the card I received a dialogue box reporting an
input/output error. Dmesg reported similar xHCI errors as when I tried the 16GB
card. I began to file a bug report, and part way through was dumped to a text
console with a kernel panic message (which appeared to stem from usb_storage).
As I have no other USB devices plugged in I presume this is again from the card
reader.
- Secondly I toggled the ASUS Bios "EHCI handoff", which I think was
"disabled" by default and I set it to "enabled". With this set I got a
kernel panic shortly after logging in, but without inserting a card in
the card reader at all. I have screenshots of these kernel panics if
they are of use.
I am writing this bug report having rebooted the computer, reset the USB
BIOS settings and restarted and the card reader's red power light is not
on at all, hence the ubuntu-bug-generated output may not show the card
reader.
