cd blanking

[Norton Roman]

Does anyone has a clue about why is it that ubuntu stalls whenever I try to
blank a cd-rw? Yesterday I did it for the very first time with ubuntu and it
simply stalled... it did not freeze, for when it finished everything went
back to normal. I have experienced the same behaviour in the end of the
process of burning a cd (fixating part). I checked dmesg etc and everything
was pretty normal... it seems that burning a cd used the whole of my databus
and nothing else was allowed to run. Actually, gnome simply stalled. I could
move the mouse and see the cursor moving normally, however, no window would
open...

I have used debian for a very long time and never experienced anything like
that. It is true that I never had used an amd64 processor, which is in my
computer now, but it really puzzled me and I'm quite clueless about where to
start looking for an answer.

Cheers
