I got errors (fifo errors, IIRC) when trying to use my HP 16X burner on 
a new RH8 system (Athlon 2400+, on both the built-in NForce2 IDE 
controller, and a PCI Promise Ultra-IDE controller) until I backed off 
the record speed.  It now happily burns at 8X, but wouldn't finish even 
short CD's at 16X.  I haven't tried anything inbetween...I'm usually not 
in a big enough hurry the 8X bothers me much (and it's still way faster 
than my old HP 2X burner, so it seems fast enough by comparison :-).

Maybe dialing down the speed would help you too?
