What does: dmesg|grep xhci tell you?
Nothing
Yeah, no xhci kernel module....
USB3 is supposed to be fully supported in EL6,
So I have to wait until CentOS 6 is tested (testing machine has no USB3) and then is installed on production server.
Not such a big problem cause USB2 works with that drives - but slow ;-(
Once you've tasted the speed of USB3 you really don't want to go back..... It's as fast as native eSATA on most of my USB3-capable externals. Over twice as fast as USB2 on them.
An alternative would be to use the ELrepo 'mainline' kernel, assuming it has the xhci and/or xhci_hcd modules; but you'd be on your own configuring udev and friends to use it. If that were to work, I sure would be interested.
