Do you know what you changed since then?
There may be a problem caused by hald. Did you try to write in -raw96r mode
as mentioned by cdrecord? Hald does not interrupt the write process if 
this is done in RAW mode.

You did not mention the cue sheet or *.inf content and it is well known that
some drives do not like all CUE sheets.

Then it may be that the master CD is not Red-Book compliant or the 
firmware is dumb or the CD-Text is not accepted.

In any case, writing in RAW mode will also prevent the firmware from being able 
to understand what's going on. In RAW mode, the whole data on the CD is created
and computed by cdrecord, try it.
