Well, booted into 2.6.11-rc2-bk2 (ACPI config'd out) and my
 first growisofs session decided to die at 60% with the usual EIO :/

The fun thing is that retrying now shows growisofs calling a
 HUGE amount of these babies...

[root@donkey tmpburn]# strace -p 2337
...
ioctl(5, SG_IO, 0xbffff7d8)             = 0
ioctl(5, SG_IO, 0xbffff7d8)             = 0
ioctl(5, SG_IO <unfinished ...>
Process 2337 detached
[root@donkey tmpburn]# strace -c -p 2337

 while sitting in its initial prompt:

It looks like every kernel has its own :(
