Package: linux-image-2.6.21-2-686
Version: 2.6.21-6
Severity: normal


I have an old HP SureStore CD-Writer Plus 7200e CD parallel 
interface CD burner that some years back used to work just fine with 
Debian. I just dusted it off, and the drivers fail badly.

When I manually load the "pcd" driver, I hear the drive spinning, then 
an "events" process quickly grabs 99+% of CPU and the whole system 
becomes so sluggish that I barely retain sufficient control to type halt 
in a terminal. The halt process was so slow that I finally had to power 
down.

Unplugging the external drive has no effect, suggesting that something 
in the driver is spinning.
