OK rebooted into kernel-2.6.8-1.521 from kernel-2.6.7-1.494.2.2 and as root this works:

So I edited /etc/cdrecord.conf to read:
CDR_DEVICE=LITEON CDR_FIFOSIZE=4m LITEON= ATA:0,1,0 -1 -1 burnfree
And then did:
[root@help root]# cdrecord -v FC2-i386-rescuecd.iso cdrecord: No write mode specified.
cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode.
cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive
dependent defaults.
cdrecord: Continuing in 5 seconds...

Warning: Using badly designed ATAPI via /dev/hd* interface.
Linux sg driver version: 3.5.27
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/hd*'. Cannot
open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.
Where does that take us now?
What do you get from:
# ls -l /dev/hd[a-d]
I get:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 Feb 23 2004 /dev/hda brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 64 Feb 23 2004 /dev/hdb brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 Feb 23 2004 /dev/hdc brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 64 Feb 23 2004 /dev/hdd
Can you confirm that there is no reference to ide-scsi in your /etc/grub.conf entry for this kernel, nor in /etc/modprobe.conf?
Paul.
