scsi emulation for IDE devices is not supported that well in kernel 2.6 (there is no one maintainint ide-scsi apparently), sometimes you get buffer underruns and other nasty things hapenning. Thats why they advice you not to use scsi emulation for kernel 2.6, but to use the alpha version of cdrecord which support direct IDE writing ie: cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd -data we.iso So thats why scsi emulation is not reliable in 2.6 kernels.
