Yes, it is a firmware bug, and yes, the LG drives are responsible for this. But, it is Mandrakes own fault that this happens. If you take beta / heavy modified kernels instead of kernels that have been tested by the entire linux community, you can expect things like these to happen. True, strange that this bug was able to tunnel trough all RCs, but this once again proves that it's better to use the entire linux community as testers instead of a few beta testers, i.e. use only stock kernels. Mandrake is not a linux distribution known for stability, let's please take stability as top priority for Mandrake 10.0. This way Mandrake will get the good name that belongs to such a cool distribution. Jos
