It must be a strange problem.. I have succesfully burned CDs on 2.4.2-2
( I think that is the default kernel with RH 7.1) and with kernel
2.4.8-ac6..

A quick search on deja and you will find lots of good information on the problem. Also check to see if it's been fixed post kernel 2.4.2 as that is a very old kernel now. You can get kernel 2.2.16-22 (or 2.2.18 I think is the latest 7.0 update) from rpmfind.net or ftp.redhat.com.
