Hi! I am trying to get an external USB CD writer to work.
I bought an empty USB<->IDE case and it works fine for harddisks. With the CDRW drive I can mount CD's with no problems. Unfortunately, cdrecord doesn't recognize the drive as being a writable device. The drive is a Lite-On LTR32123S. On connecting the USB device, the kernel spits out these messages: kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 4 kernel: usb 1-2: Product: USB 2.0 Storage Device kernel: usb 1-2: SerialNumber: 00042222200000119603 kernel: scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices kernel: Vendor: Revoltec Model: USB/IDE Bridge ( Rev: 0103 kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 usb.agent[3234]: usb-storage: already loaded kernel: SCSI device sda: 331176 2048-byte hdwr sectors (678 MB) kernel: sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled kernel: sda:<7>usb-storage: queuecommand called kernel: unknown partition table kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 kernel: Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0 scsi.agent[3260]: disk at /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:07.2/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/host2/2:0:0:0 kernel: UDF-fs: No VRS found On 'cdrecord --scanbus', it detects: 2,0,0 200) 'Revoltec' 'USB/IDE Bridge (' '0103' Removable Disk and is unable to use it as a write device. I am using 2.6.8.1 on a i386 architecture, running Sarge. Any hints on this? Thanks in advance!
