Just installed a USB2.0 card and IOmega external USB2 CD burner on my RH
7.3 system.

I can get a cd to mount but when I try to burn a cd it will not work.
Not sure why. I also upgraded the kernel to get the USB2 support.

RH 7.3 kernel version --> 2.4.20-20.7
USB2 card --> SIIG PCI card.
CDROM Dirve --> Iomega CD-RW 52x24x52x external drive.

First I made a iso image. Then I mounted the iso image to make sure it
was what I wanted and it mounted. It look good so I unmonuted it.

Below is what I did to try to burn a cd and the resulting problem.

At this point I cannot mount a cd unless I re-boot.

Any ideas?

I am puzzled.
