Without details because I have not tried it in a couple of weeks this sounds
exactly like the problem I was having trying to burn my e-Smith download on
RH 7.1.
Point is the problem is not unique to your machine.
Thus I very much doubt that it is a hardware problem on either of our
machines.
That would make the kernel problem concept much more plausible.
All the problems we suddenly appear to be having reminds me of what I said
several months ago RH 7.1 is beta software and should be viewed as such.
