I think USB-A issues so far have only been reported after suspend or as “generally flaky”, so maybe someone can confirm / deny if this is a reproducible on other systems:
Issue:
USB-A is dead after reinserting the same drive multiple times.
Reproduction Steps:
- Insert a drive (external HDD or USB drive) into a USB-A port and wait for OS to pick it up
- Remove the drive
- Insert the drive and wait for OS to pick it up
- Remove the drive
- Insert the drive → The drive no longer gets recognized
Workaround:
The USB-A expansion card needs to be reinserted.
Hints:
I dont think this has anything to do with my OS (Fedora 37 KDE, Kernel 6.2.8), since the stick does not show up in the bios either, when the FW is in this state.
Was able to reproduce it with multiple USB drives and an external HDD (all USB 3)
