problem description:
when i have vmware up and running w2k server, and i burn a cd from bash (as root) using cdrecord, i am getting a kernel panic.
also to note, the emu10k1 sound driver is loaded with xmms playing mp3s.
How is your virtual machine configured? Do you use /dev/sg* for generic access to your SCSI, or /dev/sr* for accessing your CD drive from virtual machine?
In that case, try disconnecting this hardware from guest before using cdrecord. It is quite possible that your cdwriter gets mad if you are recording and at same time Windows try to detect whether you changed medium inside writer...
Not that aic7xxx driver should panic due to that, but...

I've sent a note under separate cover to Justin about this particular panic. I've seen it once before and I relayed some more details to him. For example, on my machine, I was using the stock Red Hat kernels. The i386 BOOT kernel worked fine, the i686 kernel panic'ed just like this. You might try recompiling the kernel as an i386 kernel without a bunch of optimizations and see if that changes things.
