Hi,

> kernel is Linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r6

Let me guess, it all used to work perfectly until you upgraded to
2.6.10? If this is the case, then I had similar problems. I cannot say
for sure if gentoo found and fixed the errors in their own patched
version (I use vanilla kernels), however in the default 2.6.10 kernel I
encountered 2 major problems (and a third point):

I) I *did* have to reinstall (recompile) cdrtools else it bombed out
each time with really strange warnings (and I got new coasters each time
too).
II) Possibly not relevant, but linux-2.6.10 has a bug with ISO-9960
filesystems (*.iso), which may also (possibly) interfere with burning.
III) I know you are using ATAPI, but the use of IDE-SCSI emulation would
hard-freeze the kernel every time too. Make sure you remove (if you
haven't) any IDE-SCSI modules (or built in) totally, as they should not
be used anyway with 2.6 ~ if you have it that is.

Initially I solved it by using patches from Alan Cox, however I upgraded
to 2.6.11 the minute it was released, as I would encounter from time to
time (after 10+ days uptime) a hard-lockup of the complete system
without warning (and no logs/dmesg output).

Basically what I am trying to say is that there are several major bugs
in 2.6.10 relating directly to cd-writing. The chances are that if you
upgrade/downgrade kernerl's you will solve it IMHO.

Maybe this helps somewhat ;-)

Greetings
Ralph
