[ale] CD Burning / Kernel Panic

[Christopher R. Curzio]

Hi, ALE. 

I've been having a problem with my CD burner under Linux lately, (as in,
the past year or so). It seems that whenever I try to burn a CD in any
way, the kernel will panic and kill the system at random times throughout
the burn process. It can happen 30 seconds after the burn starts, or right
at the end. The drive can read just fine, but it has issues with burning.

I'm using an IDE Memorex CRW-1622, kernel 2.4.18 with SCSI-Emulation.
Here's the output of the panic:

I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have. I love this burner, even
though it's old and slow. I'd rather not get rid of it if I don't have to.
