Re: PROBLEM: kernel 3.6.rc6 bug report (usb 3.0 external hard driveproblem)

[Gabor Takacs]

Dear Sarah,

I know this is not a very constructive reply, but these days I am so
busy that I just cannot find the time apply kernel patches :(

I would love to do that, indeed! In the good old days, I would even hack
the UDMI module in the kernel when my new notebook's
drive interface was not recognized, but I am afraid I must resign myself
to missing this entertainment now and in the
foreseeable future.

I posted this bug because I thought if kernel 3.6 goes out with it, that
would be a very bad impression for us, mortal
end-users.

Best wishes,

Gabor
