Howdy!
I haven't had any problems with new kernels. I have burned about 100 CDs
with kernels 2.2.1[5-7pre4]. And I always do a lot of things while
burning, play mp3, watch mpeg movie, use Netscape and such. I use latest
cdrecord with gcombust frontend and I always burn on the fly (don't create
image file). I use dao mode. I burn only data, no audio.
My HDs are IDE, burner is Plextor 12x SCSI burner (and I burn at max
speed). I installed Mandrake 7.1 a week ago, I used RedHat 6.2 before
that.
If your problem is because of changes in new kernels, I suppose it must be
on IDE code. Search kernel mailing list with IDE keyword.
