The ATA/100 kernel drivers have problems with LG CD-Rs and CDRWs.
If the LG is on secondary channel, try F1 at splash screen and
linux ide1=noautotune
To turn off any attempt by the kernel to activate DMA on that drive.
Once installed, it would be wise to compile kernel-linus to accommodate that
drive, because it will also have streaming errors during burns with the stock
kernel (no DMA).
I have observed similar behavior of the same brand of drive with early kernel
2.4.
