I burned it in Linux, and all I used was a basic cdrecord command line:

cdrecord -v -speed=4 dev=2,6,0 -eject -data /mnt/cdscratch/some-ISO

The volume name when the ISO is created is made as: Cooker_CD_$n, with
n=1,2,3 etc. but this isn't really checked during the install. the thing
that's looked for is the Mandrake/RPMS$n directory.

Did you happned to install MySQL?  There's a known problem with it, that's
now corrected, that it was tying up CD1, not allowing it to be unmounted.
unless you switch to VT2 and kill the process.
