In the old days (linux 2.2.x) I could burn 2 cds at a time without any trouble and I did hundreds of them. Now that I've upgraded to the 2.4 kernels (redhat 7.2 with first the stock 2.4.7 kernel and now 2.4.18) the start of the second burn interrupts data streaming on the first. This fails every time I try a second cdrecord.
Is this a know problem? Is there a work-around?
