I've had similar problems. In my case, FC4 thinks my SATA DVD/CD burner
is a ATA devices (sees it as hdc, not sdc) and when you burn too fast
the drive can't keep up and does this.
I've bugzilla'd this, but it's really and issue of the kernel not
detecting my hardware properly and it's being resolved slowly.
