I followed Miark's suggestion and made the change to lilo.conf append="quiet devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" . It did not make a difference. When starting my x-cd-roast my DVD-ROM was still undetected, But then, AHAAA!!!
I changed my booting agent to grub. PRESTO!!!! Everything is working tralala!!! So, ideas anyone? Every time I start my computer I get more confused, but that is well cool! Learning innit?

Suerte. pilagá ------------------ Taken from FAQ: /28. That new ATAPI mode causes problems! Should I use it?/ That new ATAPI mode is enabled by default in X-CD-Roast on linux. It requires a kernel 2.4.x and is able to access ATAPI devices directly through the IDE driver, without the help of SCSI emulation. However, that mode is still experimental and causes some problems. Using a CD writer in that mode is not recommended - please use always SCSI emulation here. The ATAPI mode on a writer will cause great delays in all X-CD-Roast operations, because communication with a device takes much more time. You will also notice a lot of driver errors in your system log files. This seems to be normal. You can tell X-CD-Roast to ignore the ATAPI mode when you start it with the "-a" option. There is also no DMA transfer supported at all though the ATAPI interface. On some not correctly installed machines X-CD-Roast will find your devices both via SCSI emulation and via ATAPI - they are displayed double in the setup. Things could work nevertheless, but use the scsi-emulated devices only then. (The devices without the "ATAPI:"-marking) Conclusion: Use your writer only with SCSI emulation, but a normal CD/DVD-ROM drive as read only device will work fine in ATAPI mode. This is also the default setup for many Linux distributions.
