If you are on FC1 or one of the earlier RH distros, the cd burner should be running under the ide-scsi module.
use lsmod to see if ide-scsi is loaded.
If it is, see what it is called. " dmesg | grep sd " (it should be sd0 or sd1 depending on whether you have one or more devices running under ide-scsi, or if you are running other scsi devices as well).
Or use dmesg and view the output or view /var/log/message to see what the system identified it as.
Then xcdroast should see it automatically, or you can use "cdrecord -scanbus" to identify the exact device for use.
If the module ide-scsi is not loaded then the burners won't see it.
