Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.15-1.1864_FC5 and 2.6.15-1.1881_FC5 have the problem, FC5T2 release didn't. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Install FC5T2 and successfully write to a CD-RW disc. Upgrade the kernel and observe that it fails. Additional info:
It's working again now. Not entirely sure whether it's bad hardware that decided to come good or whether the latest kernel fixed the bug. I've been unable to reproduce the bug on other machines so suspect the hardware.
