There appears to be a problem with 2.6.8 and 2.6.9 kernels and cdrecord. This
problem is well documented -- see for example:
http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/3644
You either have to apply a patch or burn cd's as root. Some people are also
having trouble burning audio cd's where the cpu usage goes through the roof.
I would recommend downgrading to the 2.6.7 kernel again until these issues are
sorted out.
