I don't have ANY if those items in my modules.conf, and my sony
CRX210A1 CDRW works fine for me. The only configuration setting is in
/etc/grub.conf, where it says:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.9-34 ro root=/dev/hda5 hdc=ide-scsi hdf=ide-scsi
so tht both of my CD drives use scsi emulation.
I HAVE had trouble, in the past (with another much older CDRW drive) with
certain brands/types of CDRW media that it either refused to recognize,
or would recognize then fail during the burn operation. have you tried
a different brand of blank CDRW? I've had best luck with TDK or Fuji
700 meg media. I had a batch of memorex last year that the older burner
would burn onto but then refused to recognize once the burn was done.
