There probably worth less now but there are multiple gmail invites to the person that can get me burning cd's (even as root, i dont care) or if you in the UK, Sussex area and manage to get me burning you can have an old hp netserver lh II, dual pentium 233, 128mb ram, 3 x 4Gb scsi & 2 x 9Gb scsi, cd-rom, hp surestore dat8 & a few dds2 8Gb tapes.
First, look at your /etc/grub.conf entry for your present kernel, and make sure you don't have have an 'ide-scsi' entry for your burner.
What I did to get my burner working (it's also /dev/hdd), was to edit my /etc/cdrecord.conf file. Here are the uncommented lines from my cdrecord.conf:
CDR_DEVICE=PLEXTOR
CDR_FIFOSIZE=4m
PLEXTOR= ATA:1,1,0 -1 -1 burnfreeYou can call your burner anything you want, just substitute PLEXTOR above for whatever you want to call your drive. Once you get your cdrecord.conf file edited:
cdrecord -v yourfilename.iso
will burn an iso image.
