It was in regard to kernel 2.4.0test-something. I have the latest 2.4.0 kernel loaded on my system and this bug appears to be there, although I have seen other notes that claim that it is fixed. Can anyone confirm whether this bug is "officially" known to be in the official 2.4.0 kernel? Currently I have to reboot to 2.2.17 to do my CD-RW backups.
