Thanks everyone for the responses. I got it working with the hdc=ide-scsi on the kernel line in grub.conf, and then modprobe ide-scsi.
This latest post interests me however. (no need for ide-scsi). Is anyone else using this? Perhaps cdrecord should be modified to default to this, so that it just works in the most common case, without requiring custom configuration.
I have it working now with ide-scsi... I wonder if I should back that
out, and try the dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 solution. It sure would have been
nice if that had been documented in the man page somewhere. (may be it
was and I missed it).
At the risk of starting a religious war, does anyone have opinions on
the relative merits of the ATAPI interface vs. the ide-scsi interface?
I've only used ATAPI burning on linux, and that is on a cd-rw dvd combo drive in my laptop. I've turned buffer underrun protection on, naturally, although I cannot seem to get it to burn past 12x (drive is supposed to go to 24x write). This may be a problem with the media, however, as it does affect another operating system I have installed.
I have no scsi built into my kernel, and I've even used nautilus-cd- burner with the drive, so its stable for me. I havent used anything other than those two though, as I do most of my work in a term anyway, and theres no cool gtk2 cd burning interfaces I've come across yet.
I've written a script I call burn-iso, just throw it somewhere in your $PATH.
