For this part, did you *erase* the disc before attempting to rewrite?
This is necessary, and there's a checkbox somewhere in K3B to have it
do so automatically.

The rest of the report (no verify after write, and system lockups)
looks much more serious.  I cannot help with those, but others here
probably can.  It's just a matter of somebody else following your
recipe to repeat it, and then instrumenting libata/scsi to see
where the faults lie.
