I've installed Ubuntu Hoary on this system, and haven't had problems @ 8x in the few tries I've made so far. I'm using a 2.6.10 kernel and the same apps as before (k3b, growisofs, dvd+r-tools). Since some of these come under the 'Universe' repository, they're almost a mirror of Sid. I'm willing to bet that if I were to put a fresh install of Sid back here, I wouldn't have problems burning. I think something got scrambled during a dist-upgrade.
