This appears to me to be neither a kernel problem nor a cooker problem - just a simple configuration error.
While the equivalent of "hdc=ide-scsi" must be appended to the boot command for a CD-writer in this scenario, you must also arrange for the ide-cd driver to ignore the device by adding something like "options ide-cd ignore=hdc" to /etc/modules.conf. The ide-scsi driver cannot control a device once it is claimed by the ide-cd driver.
The success with other kernels is likely caused by kernel configuration differences. The ide-cd driver will always ignore a CD-Writer when the driver is not configured. Further information is available in the CD-Writing HOWTO...

As told me wally, i used the 2.4-linus kernel and the problem is still there,
so it is definitely a kernel problem. I report them my complain.
Happy coding.
