I need to be on the train in a few hours and Claudia needs a few CDs for Saturday. And cdrecord is hosed. No go. Hangs the system. >-{ Will my troubles never end? Is the god of free software trying to tell me something?!

Based on other bug reports, I thought that maybe it was due to the 2.6.8 kernel (remember, the one I cannot boot...) – but 2.6.7 and 2.6.6, and even 2.4.27 all have the same problem. So maybe it is cdrecord after all?

And if you know about cdrecord, you’ll know about the hassle of SCSI emulation in 2.4 kernels, and the ATAPI interface in 2.6 kernels, and what not. Enough aggravation... I’m going to a friend’s Windows machine with Nero installed. The shame! 😢
