It looks to me like there's no IRQ available. Perhaps you
could disable some built-in hardware that you are not
using? Examples might be: parallel port, serial ports,
build-in audio. This is done in the BIOS (i.e. at reboot).

Hi.
Please start with the CD-Writing HOWTO:
If you installed one of debian's howto packages:
locate CD-Writing-HOWTO

Sid is unstable. It's easy to remember if you consider this:

Ah, I see.
So what you need it to look at hotplug (which handles usb
