Re: Fwd: Hp 8xxx Cd writer

[Kervin Pierre <kpierre@fit.edu>]

Redhat 7.2 kernel has support for the HP 8200 cd writer.  Mine worked 
right after install. So upgrading to 7.2 might solve your problem.

"code maturity level" is the very first button (first colum, first row) 
on the make xconfig window.

Make sure you select scsi support as well.  And CONFIG_USB_LONG_TIMEOUT 
   might help as well, I think ( I can't remember it's location ).  This 
seemed to reduce ( haven't got one yet ) the number of the USB timeout 
messages I got when burning CDs.
