I did look at the Fedora development kernel, but there is no kernel-sourcecode RPM for it, so I can't compile some kernel modules that I need to run it, so I haven't tried it yet. I did get the CD cut on a machine with the same kernel and a SCSI CD/RW. It works fine, except that xcdroast goes into an infinite loop of errors after fixating and freezes the machine so I have to reboot. Once I figure out if that's a kernel problem or an xcdroast problem, I'll look at Bugzilla for that too.
