You noticed I said I rebuilt my kernel yesterday?

growisofs causes a kernel panic which force-reboots the machine. From X
it actually reboots, but from the console it simply hangs.

I have downloaded and installed the newest version of growisofs, and it
is the version I'm using (/usr/local/bin/growisofs).

growisofs -Z /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 -R -J /home/dump.float1.home.vol1.bz

The kernel panic says that the kernel is accessing a bad area (then it
says, I think something about #11 in parens).

I can't see how to capture the panic output, since I lose keyboard once
it has happened, but next time I'll try piping it and stderr to a file 
(won't that make growisofs target the wrong thing? I'll see).

Of course, all this hard rebooting is _not_ fun.
