it's very weird. NOW it's working again. in both windows and linux
(heh, except i can't really do much in windows except test since
i don't have much disk space there, certainly not enough for an
image of a whole 80min CD :).
let's see, what i changed... shut down. reseat CD-RW (it's a laptop,
and the CD-RW pops out so i can put a spare battery in there).
reboot. hdparm to enable 32 bit IO on HD (shouldn't matter),
enable IRQ unmask too (don't know if that matters, but it's only to
the HD, not the CD-RW). shut down again. reboot again. repeat
a few times because i'm having some other problems (misconfiguration
of network interfaces, my fault. clean up /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts :).
reboot again (yeah, i know service network stop, start or reload works
too, but i wanted it clean).
i'd tried re-seating the CD-RW several times before, so that's not it.
maybe i'll try to apm -s and then try to write a CD. i had a problem
at one point when i work it up from apm. it didn't think /dev/scd0 was
there...
ayy, what a mess. never mind. i'll continue testing and probably
never bother the list again about this until i have something solid :).
Thanks Mike and Miguel (hehe).

yeah. i do the same on my home desktop PC. well, actually, someone
else does all those things while i write CDs remotely (X forwarding via ssh).
then i just IM or text them and ask them to pop another blank in when the
write is done :).
