[lug] CD-RW issues

[socket at peakpeak.com]

Between a busy academic schedule, I've finally had a chance to test my
new CDRW drive this weekend.  It worked pretty well with the first
data disk I tried, but I've had difficulty writing audio and wiping
disks:

---------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------

The writing light on the drive remains on, though, for about as long
as it takes to perform the full blank.  I have a suspicion that it
actually worked because of this, but haven't tried another write.

Has anybody had this error at all?  I read a few messages in the
kernel list about this, none of which had any replies of much use, but
some are reporting that it doesn't happen with the 2.0.3x kernels.
I've had it work in 2.2.13 for burning a data disk, but I'm hoping I
can figure out burning music tracks and wiping without too much more
trouble.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
