Maarten, char-major-97 is the parport driver that cdrecord seems to be trying in vain to load. I have seen old versions of cdrecord get confused and end up sending a parport command to the sg interface. That was fixed over a year ago. I just put a small check in my sg driver to look for 1 byte transfers and cdrecord 1.9 didn't issue any on my box. If you want I can forward a patched version of sg that announces 1 byte transfers.
