i just rebooted, (and booted with acpi off, anticipatory like before)
and burned a DVD, and it works.. this means that when acpi is disabled,
cpufreq off, i have the same problems i initially had with earlier
kernels (2.6.9-rc*)

that is: i could burn 1 dvd, which works fine, then the next i burn
fails, with io error, then the third i burns works.. in short, every
second works.. unless i reboot after each, then no one fails..

its a insanely strange problem. :) but atleast im able to get abit free
hd space now :)
