I use FC2 kernel 2.6.5-1.358 and cdrecord 2.01.1-0.FC2.1 and cd
burning WON'T WORK!! I have /usr/bin/cdrecord set to 4711 and /dev/hdc
set to 666 and no luck! the md5sum checks out, and even burning as
root doesn't work! I went through 3 CD-Rs and all wasted. My burner
has a light that is green when reading, yellow for something else (I
think fixating) and red for burning. I have tried command line and
k3b. It will "start writing", be red for 1-2 seconds, then switch from
yellow to green many times. I try to kill it, but 1. it wont die 2. it
won't let me open my cdrom (even with eject, which freezes). Finally,
after a minute, it dies and gives me a worthless, dead,
partially-written-on cd-r. cdrecord says that it couldn't fixate disk.
Could it be cdrecord, permissions, or the kernel itself? Thanks!

Dear Steven,
Don't know about FC2, but on FC3, you have to do...
up2date udev
...to get it working properly.
regards,
Robert
On FC2 that's irrelevant since the distro is not udev compliant....
I'd strongly suggest updating your kernel to *at least* version
2.6.7... FC2 was a bit jumpy on earlier versions of the kernel... And
also a fully updated systems is always recommended, since many thing
have been fixed since official release.
I'm also having difficulties with cdrecord on FC2, starting with 2.6.5
and continuing with the latest available kernel (2.6.10-1.9 [1
think]). Both CD drives on the system appear to work just fine in
read mode. There does seem to be some kind of conflict, though, in
the device definitions on the system. The same hardware running an RH
8 kernel saw the ide-scsi CD-RW drive as scsi:0. On FC2 it is seen as
scsi:1
You are using SCSI emulation on a 2.6.x kernel?!?! turn that off!!! You
should NOT use ide-scsi emulation on a 2.6.x kernel, the ATAPI code is
sufficient (ide-scsi was a horrible hack, anyway), plus cdrecord and
cdrdao are enough to record your disks with pure ATAPI interface, since
they are specifically tuned fo that in FC2+
