FYI - Mandrake has fixed the LG drive destruction issue - the problem is
with LG "reusing" a command against the ATAPI spec.  Details at:

....but basically, LG used the "FLUSH_CACHE" command as a means to write to
the device flash (as opposed to flushing cache, which it does not have), and
the L-M kernels were issuing that command.
