William,
Perhaps you could try an older version of cdrecord
that uses the sg interface. That way we may be able to
isolate the problem (and you may even get a useful
CD-R burnt).

Does that "special" version of cdrecord interface to the
kernel via the CDROM_PACKET or the SG_IO ioctl?

When I connected my Yamaha 4416S burner to an Adaptec
19160 on the 2.5.65 kernel it locked up in the scan
as you reported. My Tekram 390U3W with the sym53c8xx_2
driver didn't have this problem. I haven't had the need
to burn a CD-R recently. I have downloaded Justin's
latest aic7xxx driver but haven't loaded it yet.
