Hello there folks--
I am having problems getting my HP CD-Writer 8200e USB CD-burner to work
correctly. A good long time ago, I had it working under 2.4 kernels.
However, quite some time ago I switched to 2.6 series kernels and since
then I have not been able to get it to work.
cdrecord recognizes de drive, but when I go to burn, the whole process
freezes up before the burning even begins. I am wondering if anyone else
has experienced similar problems or could lend me a hand.
I am currently running kernel 2.6.8-10 with debian sarge.
Any help that anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
ahead of time. I have struggled with this one for a while, but am really
just not able to get this to work.
When I run cdrecord, I get the following output:
********
elsapo:/etc# cdrecord -vv -dummy speed=0 dev=8,0,0
/home/Bkup_img/bkup_img.iso
cdrecord: No write mode specified.
cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode.
cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent
defaults.
cdrecord: Continuing in 5 seconds...

Then the whole process freezes up. I have to do a Cntr-C to exit the
cdrecord process. Every once in a while the process gets one step
further before it freezes up, apparently starting to fill the buffers
before everything comes grinding to a halt. But most of the time, I see
the output listed above.
Here is the output from lsmod at the time:

And that's all...
I know about the security issues with kernel 2.6.8, however, I am
running cdrecord as root, so that should not be a problem in this case.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions, I am not very happy
having to use to use Windows to burn my backups, etc.
Best wishes to all in the new year.
Take care,
-Ian
