That logfile contains tons of connection attempts that fail for various different reasons. Most common is that the computer gives up on the drive while the drive is still warming up.
You can try doing this: Make sure the usb-storage module isn't loaded on your system and prevent the hotplug system from loading it. Then plug in the drive and insert a disc. Give it some 15 - 30 seconds to warm up, and then do "modprobe usb-storage".
Also, when you post log files in the future, see if you can whittle them down to just the relevant part. That last one contained over 6 hours worth of log messages! I couldn't tell which parts contained the tests you thought were important.
Fascinating. I recompiled 2.6.8.1 with usb-storage as a module. I rebooted to the new kernel with the DVD writer plugged in. After waiting a few minutes, I decided to give it a go. /sbin/modprobe usb-storage.
The driver loads, no problem. Then I inserted a DVD+R that I had just finished writing in Windows 2000. A mount /dev/sr0 /cdrom finishes with no problem. No errors in the USB or SCSI logs. All of the files that I accessed were reading fine (some MP3s and a few video clips.)
I also tried a DVD+R that I wrote when I first obtained this drive. I was having consistant problems reading it. Now it reads fine when I connect it and load the drivers like you directed.
I am going to hammer at this drive and the usb-storage driver for a few days time to see if I am just having temporary luck with it. I will also try writing some stuff with it. So far, so good, I hope. If I see anything obviously wrong, I'll be sure to post my findings. Thanks!
