About what's being discussed, I just ponder that failing to work correctly with common devices (usb-storage, etc) is a fair good way of killing a distribution.
the usb-storage bug is fixed in kernel 349 (see http://people.redhat.com). Actually it's worked around. cdrecord has a bug where it doesn't check a return value and interprets an error value as 255 sectors-io-size. Which is/was invalid for usb storage. SG just silently ignores the fact that that is an invalid value for usb storage and continues, at the risk of breaking the burn. As I said fixed in 349 by making usb-storage also grok 255 sector sized IO's.
