Bug#703470: UEFI USB stick installation fails on HP EliteBook 8570p



Control: retitle -1 UEFI USB stick installation fails to detect its media on a USB 3.0 port

As mentioned in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=703469 ,
I was able to install by booting without EFI.  While having problems 
getting that system to recognize a USB stick that I plugged in, it 
occurred to me that I was using one of the USB 3.0 ports.  A USB 2.0 
port recognizes the device.

Applying the same idea to this bug, I got the d-i to work just as well 
in EFI mode on a USB 2.0 port.  I booted the existing system by choosing 
"F9 Boot Device Options" from the "Startup Menu", then "External USB 
Hard Drive" (as opposed to "USB Hard Drive 1 - ...").  I stopped after 
configuring the network, since I don't want to destroy the system I've 
already installed.

So the remaining issue is that the d-i doesn't find the installation 
media in a USB 3.0 port.
