Hey group,
I am runing FC2 with kernel 2.6.7-1. My system is an Athlon 2800+, 512MB 400MHz DDR and an ATA 133 drive. When I try to burn an audio file with cdrecord, the system becomes very unresponsive while the disk is being burnt. top show only about 2% CPU usage, yet the mouse is very jerky and doing any tasks during the burn are very, very slow (normally the system is very fast).

No one has any experience with something like this? Does anyone else have a similar issue? My mobo is an NForce2 based MSI K7N2.
Does anyone have an suggestions on how I might go about trying to see what is causing the problems? Could it be the drivers for the mobo? I do notice that the reverse engineered forcedeth driver for the NVidia nic has some issues. For example, sometimes when I boot (espcially a cold boot), I cannot get to the net from my cable modem, nothing I try has seemed to work. However, if I reboot in to WinXP and the reboot right into FC2, the forcedeth driver works like a champ.
Should I look into newer versions of these drivers? Maybe CVS versions?
Thanks for any help on this,
