The drive is correctly detected but cdrecord appears to be being blocked

correct results. In earlier versions theiomega 250MB zip disk drive was
also detected along with the cdrom and cd burner drives. Now the zip
drive is no longer detected even though I have it loaded and am accessing
it. Running the script in the cd-writing-howto to create devices gets
some nasty audit messages back even for root user and devices can't be
created and this is even with hal and stuff hal uses turned off. That
same behavior is what gave me the idea to turn hal and associates off in
the first place but hal isn't responsible for this.
What burner is it? What is reported by "dmesg" about it? What does
cdrecord -scanbus return? What parameters do you pass on to the kernel?
How do you run cdrecord? What is in /etc/cdrecord.conf? What error
does cdrecord print?
Just curious, since you mentioned scsi device, is this a real scsi
cd? If so, do you have the proper hdx=scsi in the kernel line of grub?
The proper way to do IDE CDs is to not have the hdx=scsi line.
