I have a scsi CD rom and had some problems when I added my IDE burner.
Here's what I found:
You may want to consider X-CD Roast for your CD burning. You can get
information on it at:
http://www.fh-muenchen.de/rz/xcdroast
It came with my Mandrake 6.1 distribution.
X-CD-Roast uses a command line program "cdrecord". The home page for cdrecord
has all the information you may need to set up your cdrw. It can be found at:
http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html
The information for ide/atapi drives are at:
http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/man/README/README.ATAPI
There was also a discussion regarding this on the KDE mail list. Check the
following:

Also, a few weeks ago someone posted the following link for a good place to get

It seems that during the install of LM 7.0 or the the first time I booted, the
system recognized I had a CD-RW. So it must have set up the CD-RW on
"/dev/scd0". Try "cdrecord -scanbus". That should show that the systems sees
your CD burner. If that works, edit "/etc/fstab" and look for the line for
your CD drive. Change it so that the part where it says "dev=/dev/cdrom" reads
"dev=/dev/scd0". Try and read a disk, you may have to umount the device by
hand first. I don't know why this works. I got errors when I tried to mount
"/dev/hdc" which I think should have worked since that is where the kernel
identifies it as being at start up. You may also have to setup SCSI emulation
by hand, neither the install nor the start up procedure told me it did. If it
means anything I was installing over not upgrading a working LM 6.1
installation.
