[Bug 28210] Re: cdrecord hangs with kernel >= 2.6.10 and cyberdrive cdrw

[Schily]

I cannot help here as this is a HAL bug.

On Solaris, there is no such problem. For this reason, this is a Linux specific 
HAL problem. Let me explain the differences between Solaris and Linux:

- On Solaris, it is not hald that tries to find the state changes on the drive/media
   but the sd driver in the kernel. It uses code from 1992 that is known to check only
   for the right state transitions.

- On Solaris, there are not many drivers in the kernel that  are able to access the same
   piece of hardware. 

I am trying to inform people about the background for the hald related problems since it
exists on Linux. You will only see a fix if the hald people fix their problems together with
the Linux kernel folks.

BTW: we should move this but to hald.....
