Xserver 3,1 and USB 3.0

I have a XServe 3,1 running OS X 10.7.5. I have connected USB 2.0 and FW800 drives to this machine with no issues. As of late, I have been using USB 3.0 external drives though. When I connect them the Xserve kernel panics and is unusable again until I unplug the drive. I have tried this with two different branded drives and have attached both of the reports from the kernel panic. What is interesting though is that I have other USB 3.0 drives that have connected with no issue. The USB 3.0 drives that I have connected and caused a kernel panic work fine on all other machines. Regardless, the following are the Crash Reports after the kernel panic. Any help is greatly appreciated.


Thanks

I have seen this happen on two different xServes. One running 10.7.5 and the other 10.8.5. I've tried with two drives of the same model, with same result. I've tried all three ports.


There is another thread with same issue here:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5818957


The next test I will try is if I can see drive at boot. That might show whether this is hardware (variations to the specs by either the drive or apple), or simply software.


I have also the possibility to try with Snow Leopard.

Quick summary:

It fails on all ports

It fails on multiple xServes

It fails on 10.7.5 and 10.8.5 both fully patched and up to date.

It works on iMac 10.7.5 fully patched. Appears to be xServes only that are affected.

It will kernel panic the OS on boot, seconds in.

It does not affect the early boot screen.

It is possible to boot from the drive using a 10.7 installer image.

It works with 10.6.8


It is most likely USB kexts that are the problem. It may work with older versions of 10.7/10.8. It might be possible to copy kexts from older to newer versions and get it working.


I recommend everyone affected to log fault with Apple, along with the details of the drives. It looks to be multiple model drives and multiple drive vendors.

Xserver 3,1 and USB 3.0
