I seem to recall having some difficulty when trying to burn CDs on a DVD capable drive using burncd. Some incompatibility of burncd and the DVD drives. I suspect either the software or the drives have improved so that with more modern components it works. Meanwhile I believe I avoided the problem using atapicam and cdrecord. But I don't recall needing to reboot. (And it could have all been a dream?)
