Hi. I have a CDRW drive on RH8. Been working great for quite some time.
I usually use the webmin interface(I believe just makes calls to
cdrecord) to burn my CDs. I couple weeks ago I tried to burn a CD and
the system kept locking up part way through the burn. I assumed it was
something with the structure I was trying to burn and didn't have toime
to troubleshoot at the time. 

I had not used it since then and tried to blank a cdrw today with:
cdrecord blank=fast dev=0,1,0

Same thing. After 30 seconds or so the monitor goes blank and the CAPS
and SCROLL lights on my keyboard start flashing. System is not
accessible either on the console or from other machines. I don't see
much in the message log around the time of the crash. I believe these
are the relevant lines:
Aug  8 11:40:04 tweety kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout :
pid 56316753, scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 Request Sense 00 00 00 40 00
Aug  8 11:40:34 tweety kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout :
pid 56317186, scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00
00 
Aug  8 11:45:47 tweety syslogd 1.4.1: restart.

Problem with the drive?
Anywhere else I should look for clues as to the problem?

Thanks,
James
