After upgrading to kernel 2.6.8.1, a patch made to unusual_devs.h causes
the Revoltec USB/IDE bridge to identify itself instead of reporting the
type of drive inside (ie. HP DVD300i in an external USB case gets
reported as Revoltec USB/IDE brige) so cdrecord --scanbus only
identifies it as a Removable disk instead of a Removable CD. If the
patch is removed everything returns to normal.
Here's the patch that causes the problem:
/* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I don't know the name of the bridge
* manufacturer, but I've got an external USB drive by the Revoltec company
* that needs this. otherwise the drive is recognized as /dev/sda, but any
* access to it blocks indefinitely.
*
*/
