Pogoplug v4 with MPD causes USB failure

[WarheadsSE]

In this case, it was the USB3 bus that has ***** itself. Can you use the USB2 port for this sound card?

[Holzhaus]

I'm currently using the USB 2.0 port for the usb drive that contains the root fs.

I think I have an SD card lying around somewhere. Can I use if for booting, too? The installation instructions state that only SATA and the USB-2.0-port can be used for the root fs. If booting from SD is not supported, I'll check if a neighbor can borrow me a USB hub for the top port.

[WarheadsSE]

Hrm...

That is an issue. I can't speak as to why the sound card is killing the USB3 host controller (and thus everything on it). What is the model?

[Holzhaus]

It's a "Creative SoundBlaster Play!". This one.

If I connect an USB 2.0 Hub to the top USB Port and plug the USB Soundcard into that Hub, the error does not occur. So maybe it's a bug in the USB 3.0 driver (?).

[jacgl]

Hi,
looks really like a driver bug. I have the same effect on pogoplug4 just after installing archlinux

[ 25.008301] xhci_hcd 0000:00:01.0: xHCI Host Controller
[ 25.013594] xhci_hcd 0000:00:01.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2

[ 25.083276] xhci_hcd 0000:00:01.0: USB bus 1 deregistered

With original Pogo FW works good, even works with archlinux, but upgrade did destruction. I havn't found solution yet.

You guys are talking about 2 different issues here. There is a bug in kernel 4.0.0 where you can't use any PCI-E peripheral, including USB3 controller. This thread is about a different problem.
