I would recommand using cdrecord, but use a very recent version of it
you can get it from
ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha
Second, you NEED a kernel with does NOT support IDE CD.
There is an option (when generating a new kernel)
which does SCSI emulation for IDE drives.
So, yes, cdrecord supports IDE CD burners but via the
SCSI interface.
I suggest you take a very recent kernel (at least 2.4.9,
better 2.4.10-pre12, since some nasty virtual memory problems
have only recently been fixed with the 2.4.x kernels)
Then if you have the 'right' CD burner it works just fine.
