I hate to say it, but CD writing is pretty hard to do right on my
system.  I cannot have X Windows running for one reason or another (even
though I have a SCSI drive and (I think) a moderately decent PCI
controller).  In case you haven't tried it, make sure you are running as
few extra programs/daemons as possible.  Maybe even disconnect your
computer from the network if you have to (you might be getting huge
numbers of interrupts or something).
