I am trying to burn two DVD's at once on two USB Sony DVD RW DRU-700A burners using growisofs. It seems that part way through the burn something went off the rails and eventually caused a kernel panic. I have successfully done a small burn (900M) to a single DVD burner. Anybody have an suggestions as to what might have caused this and what I could do about it?
