I do not know.  I do not have prior releases.  I did not have the USB 
3.0 hub prior to my reporting the problem.  I reported this problem the 
first time I connected the 3.0 hub to my computer.

The problem is not that the error message happens.  The problem is that 
with linux after 3.2.0-38-generic, the error happens in a loop, forever. 
  That has a severe impact on system performance.

The important part of the previous sentence is 'in a loop'.  Linux is 
distinct from Ubuntu.  I can boot different kernels from Ubuntu 12.04.2 
LTS at the grub prompt.

I outlined the following to make the two cases distinct.  I am sorry if 
I caused confusion by having two cases in one response.

The good case:  Boot Ubuntu 12.04 with linux 3.2.0-38 from grub

I hope this is clear.

I can boot the failing case and attempt to generate some information 
from there, if that will help.

What can I do to help?
