Umm, interesting. I've had the same problem and I blamed the drive, but
I've the same logs:

This log repeats for every cd i tried to burn.

Unfortunately I've no blank media until Monday I can go to the shop :) so
will test a stock kernel soon.

Running:

ellugar:/var/log# uname -a
Linux ellugar 2.6.8-rc4 #48 Fri Aug 13 19:25:22 CEST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux

Debian unstable.

More info and testing on request.
Any changeset to revert?
