experience has been that
cdrdao causes problems but cdrecord doesn't. I also noticed a similar
effect recently when copying a large number of CDs to disk (several
hundred), on a couple of occasions a timeout caused DMA to become disabled
on the CDrom drive and when that happened the clock started r
relevant device ID in place of that for the S20.
The other possibility is that the devusb filesystem is not enabled --
anybody know if stock Debian kernels enable it?.

Unless of course the network interface is one of the devices woody won't

of Sarge via jigdo on another box and do
og/cups/* to see if there's anything there (403
