USB2 DVD+R/RW Writer issues

USB2 DVD+R/RW Writer issues

[Mike]

I have an external USB 2.0/Firewire HP DVD200E DVD+R/RW drive, connected to
my system through an after-market USB 2.0 card. My USB 2.0 card has a VIA
VT6212 chipset. I cannot use this drive when it is connected to the card.
DVDs will not read or write and CDs will not read or write. Attempting to
mount a DVD or a CD results in various errors being spit out. I have EHCI
compiled into my kernel, along with UHCI to support my system's stock USB
1.1 host controller (which works fine.) Additionally, USB Mass-Storage is
compiled into my kernel.

I have SCSI Generic and SCSI CDROM support compiled into my kernel as well.
I can provide any additional information upon request. Any information about
whether this is a known bug, or any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Please list those errors, please tell us how you try to mount the disk,
please confirm that the drive IS working on other systems, please tell us
which version of the kernel you are using. A configuration very much like
the above works fine for me.
