I'm having troubles with device-busy messages . . .
I use to use my sparq drive without difficulty, but lately I've been
having
trouble with "device busy" messages. Moreover, I just acquired an HP
7500 CD-Writer and I'm running into the same difficulty.
Actually, I sent mail to Grant about this Sunday and then yesterday told
him to ignore it; this time I'm sending it to the list (now that I'm
back *on*
the list). This problem is not consistent; yesterday it turned out that
I had
a file queued up to print and when I cleared the print queue and
rmmod'ed
lp, I could insmod pg. But today lp rmmod's fine and nothing is in the
queue,
yet pg won't insmod.
Paride and epat insmod just fine.
Another, possibly related, problem is that even when pg was insmod'ing
ok, cdrecord couldn't seem to talk to it. I knew that it was an
HP 7500; it
could identify it ok, but it always said that it was "not
responding" and
suggested that I power-cycle it. Of course, power-cycling it didn't
help.
I am running redhat 5.2 with the default kernel (2.0.36),
on a 2-year-old HyperBook laptop. I've checked, and the port is in
"EPP & SPP mode" (there is no "EPP only" mode available in the bios
setup).
If I've forgotten some valuable datum, I'm sure y'all will remind me.
PS: Because it's a laptop, I only have one serial port and adding
another
one is difficult, so as a diagnostic tool that's a last resort.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
