Comment:
OK tried a few more experiments.

First off if I drop to runlevel 1 using
init 1

then no problems whatsoever occur. Mounting and writing of cd-rw works
fine all the time (I tried many different isos and cd mounts).

I also tried a clean boot straight into kde and inserted a cd-rw into
the drive. The same error messages as previously occurs and occasionally
the kernel locks hard with a constant scroll of kernel scsi error
messages. This suggests to me that the problem is lower level than gnome
(unless gdm is enough to trigger the issue) since no gnome session was
launched prior to all these errors.

I also removed all the nautilus burning packages and noticed no
difference to the problem in gnome.

I also tried xfce with similar results.

I really need some guidance on this. Perhaps a developer who knows something about the scsi generic driver sg might help me out here.
 
I don't want to sound pushy but personally I wouldn't ignore this bug since kernel lockups are rather nasty and who knows how many people may be affected by this in the future if their particular hardware happens to trigger it.
