cdrecord junk; /proc junk

I feel like I'm back in the day with all these reboots ...

I'm trying to burn a cd with a pioneer dvd-rw (don't recall exact model). it used to work fine ...

everytime I try to burn or -scanbus it crashes the system. upon reboot my syslog says:

the junk isn't always the same .... some of it looks like C code.

I tried cat /proc/ide/hdc/model and it says:

what is this crap? what am I doing wrong? I did recently re-compile the kernel, and I re-compiled cdrecord (Cdrecord 2.00.3 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling)

Did you try to flash the drives firmware or
something like that?

Cheers,

no, because it used to work. I suppose it couldn't hurt at this point though .......

Would you happen to have some old (logrotated)
logs to check what the drives ID was before it
stopped working? Maybe your device is dieing.

Cheers,
Tink

forgot I added a cdrom on the bus, both set to master! well, maybe this'll help some other moron in the future ...
