    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
