Public bug reported: Hello, Ubuntu cannot boot from a USB Drive when it is plugged in a USB 3.
I have a new Sony Vaio Ultrabook without an optical drive, but with only 2 USB 3.0 entries. I created with Unetbootin a bootable Ubuntu 12.10 amd64 USB disk. The PC starts in UEFI mode and Grub2 is launched, where I choose "Try Ubuntu". After one minute the Ubuntu loading screen disappears, and a shell is opened "BusyBox" nad "initramfs". A message is also issued: "The root device cannot be found" In the shell, I went to "/dev" and tried to find my USB drive, but it wasn't there! In my opinion the Linux kernel in Ubuntu is unable to find or use USB 3.0 ports during boot. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1093626 Title: Ubuntu LiveUSB not working on USB 3.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1093626/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
