Description of problem: With Fedora 14 installed on a Lenovo W510 laptop, the two USB ports to the right of the video connector are non-functional. The eSATA/USB connector next to them does work, however, as does the other USB port on the back of the laptop. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I used usbmuxd as the component, because I'm not clear which component to assign this bug. How reproducible: It reproduces everytime. Those two ports do not work at all. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plug in a USB mouse to either of those two ports. 2. Notice that the mouse is non-functional. 3. Also notice that the red LED that is used by the optical mouse for sensing is not lighting up. Perhaps there's no power to these ports? Actual results: Non-working USB port Expected results: Working USB port :-) Additional info: A colleague with another W510, running RHEL has the same issue. The ports did work when I initially installed Fedora 14 from DVD, but stopped working after all of the "yum update" patches.
I'm seeing the same behavior on my W510 too. IIRC the ports on the side are USB3 porta, the port on the back is USB2.0 only (which is the only one that works). This is definitely a regression from F13 (and should be higher in priority).

I'm seeing the same on my W510 (M/T: 4389AN7): the two USB3 ports (blue, next to the 15 pin DSUB VGA connector are non-functional, whereas both USB2 ports (one on back, one shared with eSATA port, next to the two blue USB3 ports) work fine. I have an identical W510 (same M/T) on which I'm running MS Win 7 Pro x64: the first time I plugged in a device on the USB3 ports on that system, MS Win proceeded to install NEC USB3 device drivers.
A note re: power on these two ports - when I plug my phone (Samsung Captivate) in, I see there is power (the phone is recharged) from these two USB3 ports.
Same results here for me
Same issue, USB3 ports on side of laptop do not work, but USB2 port on back works correctly. Also, USB2 ports in mini dock station work correctly. That was with BIOS ver 1.17 (2010-04-19). Updated BIOS to ver 1.34 after reading of several USB3 related fixes in BIOS release notes: [Problem fixes] - Fix an issue that a USB device is not recognized by Windows connecting to USB 3.0 port http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/6nuj19us.txt Performed BIOS update, powered on, and same behavior when on dock - devices not recognized on USB3 ports. Undocked, same result. Removed battery as someone suggested. No luck either.
Bios version 1.34 fixes problem for me.

System panic'ed when I inserted USB disk while having amazon kindle 3 connected. Enabling diskdump. This was with 1.34 bios installed.
I updated my bios to 1.34 and did a fresh install of F14 after a hard drive failure that's when the problem started happening. Vendor: LENOVO Version: 6NET74WW (1.34 ) Release Date: 10/27/2010 Address: 0xE0000 Runtime Size: 128 kB ROM Size: 8192 kB
Well, prior to installing bios 1.34, the USB3.0 port were for me just fancy chargers. ;) Now, it works with e.g. Calibre and my cellular phone. But when I do some usb-storage access, system oops's. I'll test it more tonight.
This came to my attention: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F14_bugs#USB_3.0_ports_not_working Since the module on a W510 is called xhci_hcd the kernel parameter should read xhci_hcd.enable=1 USB 3.0 is now working on: Vendor: LENOVO Version: 6NET56WW (1.19 ) Release Date: 04/27/2010 Address: 0xE0000 Runtime Size: 128 kB ROM Size: 8192 kB
also works for me now after adding: xhci_hcd.enable=1
xhci_hcd.enable=1 does the trick for me too. The only issues is that with the module loaded suspend doesn't work. I already do have an open bug for that and I can work around this by automagically removing the module before suspend. $ cat /etc/pm/config.d/xhci SUSPEND_MODULES="xhci-hcd"
USB 3.0 in 2.6.35 is known to have a number of issues. Things should be better in more recent kernels. Unfortuantely, we won't be bringing back a newer kernel into F14 at this time.
