    • there's currently a known bug in kernel-2.6.8.1 for CD burning Bug #10840
    • the correction is available / should be included soon : http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/3659
    • current impact on K3B : K3B news cannot recognize CD writer
    According to the bug, this is now fixed with kernel 2.6.8.1-8mdk. So, you just need to update the kernel after install (which is acceptable for an RC).
