   Mitsumi CR-4804TE here, also no problems with 2.4.15 (with the second
cut of Viro's iput() patch, more or less making it 2.4.16), and a few other
'random' 2.4.x's, 2.4.13 and .14 spring to mind.

   Ah, I'm not the only one seeing this then.  During the 'fixating'
stage of burning I see what you describe.  I THINK it's more to do with
it hogging the bus (for whatever reason), and nothing being able to be
swapped in.  Could be a total interrupt hog?

   I don't recall this with the various 2.2.x kernels I ran until
switching to 2.4.8 either.
