This is driving me mad!  I have a Teac cd-rw set as the slave to my cdrom 
master.  MOST of the time I am unable to burn CDs, I get messages that the 
device isn't scsi or it has the wrong driver but once in a while I am able to 
burn a CD, but then no more.

I just burned a CD, for instance, direct CD-to-CDRW.  It worked.  I then 
removed the source CD and the newly burned CD and replaced them with the next 
source CD and blank CD in the burner.  I try to burn this and now, magically, 
I get this error:

scsidev: '1,0,0'
scsibus: 1 target: 0 lun: 0
Linux sg driver version: 3.1.20
/usr/bin/cdrecord: Sorry, no CD/DVD-Recorder or unsupported CD/DVD-Recorder 
found on this target.

Bullcrap!  IT IS A BURNER.  The damn activity light is flashing and flashing 
and flashing too and will not stop.  I cannot open the drive and remove the 
blank.  The ONLY way I can get the damn drive to give me the blank CD in it 
and try again to burn onto a new disk is to reboot.  Very windoze.  

Is there some magic that I am unaware of that is needed to be done on my 
computer to make a CD-RW work all the time rather than once in a blue moon?

In lilo, I have:
append=" hde=ide-scsi devfs=mount quiet"

so that scsi emulation is used for the drive and it works once in a while, it 
seems (and the ide-scsi module is loaded).

Someone, before I take a frickin' bat to my CDRW, please tell me what is the 
trick to getting CDs to burn in a simple burner?!  I am about to reboot AGAIN 
to get the blank out of it.
