There is absolutely no problem with RW discs, that I can at least verify 
:)... but I gather there are issues with DVD writing appliances that 
don't finalize a disc burn.... though this is only an assumption, so I'm 
prepared to be the ass.  Since there were no files found in the 
media/cdrom folder, I can only gather that whatever problem there might 
be, is actually a kernel issue.  (Whether the kernel devs consider it an 
issue if you can mount an unfanalized disc or not is another matter.)
