Hi all, I can now confirm that there is indeed a bug in this build of SuSE's kernel. I think I remember someone saying they had some trouble burning an audio cd with k3b and this kernel earlier. I tried video tonite and managed to create 2 coasters plus complete system/kernel lockups on my machine while doing that! Bad kernel, bad SuSE, please fix! ;o) I converted some avi stuff over to svcd format and each time trying to burn a cd at about 90-95% completion, the kernel would bring a complete halt to my machine! I don't think the audio burns created such a horrendous stoppage, just some bad songs. Moving back to the -7.95 build kernel eliminated the bug/problem and the video burn worked flawlessly after that. I suspect trying to burn any image type file with this kernel build (104) might cause the same problems. Be warned!
