thanks for the patch.
I immediately patched my kernel without any problems and made some tests.
Here are the results:
- copying the kernel sources is quite a little bit faster than without Bens patch,
- the 2k errors are still there, but what I saw is: with a new initialized CD there are always 2k 0s at the beginning of the file, however with a used cd (data was already on this disk), 2k of garbage data is at the beginning of the file, never 0s. So it seems, that in case of an error the first block of a file is not written to disk.
- erasing the kernel tree on CD takes more time than writing (approx 20MByte in 10 minutes, 1 file per second). This is really terrible.

are you doing this on CD-RW or DVD+RW?
