| |
Hi,
I'm using an external FireWire DVD writer (Plextor 708 in case w/Oxford 911 chipset). This was working fine until kernel 2.6.2.
Since I upgraded to 2.6.3, it frequently happens that the system totally freezes when trying to write a DVD. It's really a hard crash, no mouse movement, no ping on the network. Reset required.
It doesn't happen each time I try to burn a DVD, but in about 20% the cases. So basically the writer is unusable with 2.6.3.
I searched the web and archives for the problem, but didn't find any results, except for one guy describing the same problem, also with 2.6.3, also on this mailing list here: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0402.2/0950.html
However he didn't get any replies.
Please CC: me for replies, or if anybody needs .config, lspci, or other info. The firewire controller is a Texas Instruments TSB43AB22/A.
