[PlanetCCRMA] Hard crash with cdrecord

[Eric]

Hi all,

Running red hat 8.0 with the latest planet kernel
kernel-2.4.21-1.ll.acpi

cdrecord hang the machine. It's a totaly new problem. Sometimes the
recording process has time to finish before the crash. But it always
hang.

Here is my log.messages just before the catastrophe :

Do you think it could be my cdwriter dying or it's very possibly a
software problem?

Thanx,

Eric,
