Hi Alan, Sorry for the late reply.
OK. I've tried 2.6.13. The external caddy is a 5 1/4" so I swapped the H/D for a DVD Writer. I've burned 5/6 DVD's on several different machines successfully. I put it on the laptop (same wiring et al). If I put in a pre-recorded CD, I can mount it and copy data from the CD with no trouble. I compiled a CD .iso and attempted a "dummy" burn with cdrecord, It attempted to write and hung. Tailing ...debug I find it hits the very same place as before, same WRITE command and everything and just sits there for 30-40secs and then it seems to kick itself and goes around again.. Stopping at the same place each time.. The app (cdrecord) can't be CTRL-C'd at all. Switching the external drive off is the only way to free the program. I'd like to find out what it's doing during that 30-40secs when it sits there. Would it help if I installed 98SE on the box and ran a usbsnoop program on it? Thanks again, Phil. PS. Debug logs can be provided albeit same as before. :>-----Original Message----- :>From: Alan Stern [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] :>Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 9:21 PM :>To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :>Cc: USB users list :>Subject: Re: USB HardDisk detects but stops working when used. :> :>On Tue, 19 Jul 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: :> :>> Now that is interesting... :>> :>> rmmod ehci-hcd... :>> then plug in... :>> :>> everything works fine.. changing partitions, creating filesystem, :>> mounting, copying files... just a little slow.
