There is a regression in v2.6.19-rc18 that makes one unable to write CD's. In k3b, the drive status shows no devices. I used git bisect to find the bad commit is the following:

0e75f9063f5c55fb0b0b546a7c356f8ec186825e is first bad commit
commit 0e75f9063f5c55fb0b0b546a7c356f8ec186825e

[PATCH] block: support larger block pc requests

This patch modifies blk_rq_map/unmap_user() and the cdrom and scsi_ioctl.c
users so that it supports requests larger than bio by chaining them together.
