I see the question was solved. The reason is:: You are using the new Kernel 2.6.x and so no longer need to (can no longer) represent your cd-burners as SCSI devices, you must write directly to the ide/atapi device. AFAIK, this is also backported to some late 2.4 kernels as optional, so 2.4 can burn scsi/and/or/ide-atapi depending on the version of cdrecord. Cheers Szemir
