Anyway it looks like the gnome cdwriter thinks you are using a 2.4 kernel which requires SCSI emulation. Two work-arounds are to use cdrecord from the command line (use man cdrecord to see options) or use the k3b program that comes with FC3. I highly recommend k3b as one of the most polished programs. the cdwriter is configured in /etc/cdrecord.conf if you want to try to reconfigure that. You might even find a cdrecord.conf.new that probably would replace the other, though I don't know for sure. HTH Scott
