Thanks everyone for the responses. I got it working with the hdc=ide-scsi on the kernel line in grub.conf, and then modprobe ide-scsi.
This latest post interests me however. (no need for ide-scsi). Is anyone else using this? Perhaps cdrecord should be modified to default to this, so that it just works in the most common case, without requiring custom configuration. I have it working now with ide-scsi... I wonder if I should back that out, and try the dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 solution. It sure would have been nice if that had been documented in the man page somewhere. (may be it was and I missed it). At the risk of starting a religious war, does anyone have opinions on the relative merits of the ATAPI interface vs. the ide-scsi interface?
