Mailinglist Archive: packet-writing (43 mails)

[Thane Heninger <heninger@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been trying to get the packet-writing drivers to work with Red 
Hat 9 and have so far been unable.

I'm using kernel 2.4.20-13.9. I patched it with the 2.4.20-2 patch 
which required a few minor modifications.

I am following the very helpful document from Richard Downing 
[http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/cdrw-hint.txt]. Everything 
seems fine until I actually try to mount a udf disk with
	mount /dev/pktcdvd0 /mnt/cdrom -t udf -o rw,noatime

The drive seeks around, blinks the light and such for almost 5 minutes 
and then I get:
	mount: /dev/pktcdvd0: can't read superblock

During this time, apparently several messages get sent to the system 
log as I see with dmesg about 44 lines of:
	usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 1745
Where the frame can be any number less than 2000. After those lines, 
dmesg ends with:
	failed get_disc
	pktcdvd: pktcdvd0 failed probe

I would be enormously grateful if anyone could offer any assistance for 
helping me to understand and fix this problem.

Thank you,
