yes. apparently its a bug with the atapi flush() command. LG decided to
make that "firmware upgrade". haha. so its an LG hardware fault and
*not* a mandrake one.

kernel 2.4.22 uses that by default (during install), so debian users
wouldn't have had the problem during install because the latest version
there is 2.4.18.
