hmm... ok.  

Check to see if the ide-scsi kernel module is loaded.  Maybe it is not loading automatically.

/sbin/lsmod |grep "ide-scsi"

if not,

modprobe ide-scsi

If that brings up /dev/scd0  and it solves your burning problems, then we just need to make it autoload.

You can also check the status of the scsi system by ls /proc/scsi

Hmmm ... it partly works (/dev/scd0 appears), but I get a hard system crash while trying to burn anything like that. Well I suppose it doesn't matter, burning at 4x is not that bad.

mobrien_12:
Something is very strange with that drive.

I believe it's hdc=ide-scsi

I didn't even know that until I noticed it written on my desk today (I really should get some post-it note things) - I used to need it ages ago, think I wrote it down when I gave Gentoo a try.

That's for LILO's append=
