YES. I'm having trouble erasing / writing disks, even with the 'force'
flag...
OTH, maybe the particular CD's are a wee bit scratched...??? <*SHRUG*>
I'd guess because when you updated to a 2.4.20 based kernel for
RH9 errata
you acquired the IDE reset handling bug. If you update to the very
latest errata of a couple of days ago it should stop panicing on disks
too
This is my default boot kernel:
kernel-2.4.20-18.9. I'm using Ximian Gnome Desktop2 with all the
trimmings and fixin's.
