trouble with acer usb cdrw drive and cdrecord
Hello. I've been having trouble with cdrecord on my Acer 4406eu usb cdrw
drive. Just as a check, I have verified that it works fine under windows
2k. In fact, for a day it worked fine under linux, and I haven't been able
to figure out what changed that made it no longer work. :(
It has no problem with reading, only with writing (using cdrecord). I
consistently (regardless of the cd image I'm writing) get the same error
after the same number of bytes are written (this is using -V output):
Executing 'write_g1' command on Bus 0 Target 0, Lun 0 timeout 40s

The usb drive is connected to a thinkpad X21 computer. If any of you have
experience with this (or a similar) drive, or have any suggestions as to
how I might debug this problem, please let me know. Oh yeah, and I'm
running kernel 2.4.12 and unstable, although I've also tested this with
2.4.10.
