Thanks to PCLO : "According to a post by Juan Quintela (member of MDKsoft's kernel team), the issue with the LG drives was found. Apparently, it's due to the buggy behavior of those CD-ROM drives. The command UPLOAD_FIRMWARE reuses the command FLUSH_CACHE. As you can imagine then, the result is a fried drive. An updated kernel is on the QA queue. As for the ISOs, there have been talks of remastering, although it's not sure how the packs will be affected (they're already gone to press). "
Interestingly, some other distributions with kernel 2.4.22 are affected. I don't know yet for the mainstream distros.
