#222733 — Re: USB controller resets when burning CD

I installed Debian "testing" on an external drive. Mainly because I had 
done all my investigation with "stable" and earlier, but also so I could 
obtain version 1.5.2 of cdrskin and try Thomas Scmitt's above suggestion.

The big news, "testing" behaves the same as earlier Debian versions as far 
as burning CDs is concerned. Meanwhile, below is the entire output of the 
list_features subcommand (it's not all that long) in case one of you sees 
something relevant:

$ cdrskin --list_features

Indeed the drive firmware believes to talk via an IDE/ATAPI controller.
Ye olde Parallel SCSI would be Physical Interface Standard 1.
SATA would be 7. Direct connection to USB would be 8.

Regrettably the firmware does not tell its release date.


Have a nice day :)

#223382

I now have a workaround for my problem with the Teac W5000U DVD drive
and 64 bit computer. Was somewhat hard to find, but I obtained a USB
controller card new enough to be PCI express but old enough not to
support USB 3.0. So far, have not suffered any more controller resets. 

The card uses the ehci rather than xhci drivers. This suggests but does
not prove some sort of incompatibility between the DVD drive and xhci.
Since xhci is what everyone is supposed to be using these days, this
qualifies more as a workaround than a solution. But it is good enough
for me. Thanks all of you for your suggestions.
