[ale] speaking of cdrs...

[Geoffrey]

While were on the subject of cdrs...

I've had a Philips cdr working fine for a while now.  Of lately though,
when I attempt to burn a cd, it locks my box up with a kernel panic. 
I'm suspecting maybe the drive's gone bad on me.  Anyone else had any
experiences with a cdr going bad?  Problem is, I've upgraded kernels as
well as dists. since I burned last, so I don't know whether it's a
kernel issue, dists. issue or just plain bad hardware.

Any info on similar experiences would be appreciated.  Or, experiences
with drives going bad that don't have the same (drastic) effect....
