Package: base
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have connected an external usb drive to USB 3.0 Port which is located
on a newly installed PCI card.

This slows down the boot process in an extremely manner.

It seems that the accesses to the internal hard disk are suffering badly
from this.

When I disconnect the external drive the boot process suddenly gets the
normal much faster speed.

I can workaround the problem by connecting the usb drive to an USB 
port lower than 3.0 (seems to be USB 2.1).

I have found out that the problems occurs in the booting process
even before the external intenso usb drive is mounted.

I could not find any USB 3.0 Howto for debian jessie.

My uname -a is:

Linux debian 3.16.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1 (2015-05-24) i686 GNU/Linux

Kind regards,
Michael
