It was addressed with a vengeance. Even supermounted drives will burn cds, but it
is a bad(tm) idea to leave a blank in a supermounted burner for a long period of
time--the power saver and the supermount interact to produce a kernel panic in
those circumstances.
However, if supermount is not used, the alias in /etc/conf.modules does not
identify ide-scsi and it isn't modprobed. This has been identified and will be
dealt with, I have heard from our outstanding developers.
