"hdc=ide-scsi" is right for the 2.4 series kernels, and your dmesg output
shows that the drive is being assigned to /dev/sr0 all right.

My first thought is, are you trying this as a normal user or root? If you
haven't tried it as root yet it may be a permission issue.

Ideally you should have something like this...

$ ls -l /dev/sg0
crw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 21, 0 1999-04-13 05:24 /dev/sg0

(/dev/sg0 is the device use to write to the CDRW, as opposed to /dev/sr0 (or
scd0) which is used to read)

And your user account should be a member of the cdrom group so that it has
rw access to the drive (or you can just chmod 666 /dev/sg0, to give every
user access).

If you have tried as root, then we'll probably need to see the commands +
error messages you got.

Nope, that's good, gives us the basic info to check. Only thing missing was
the command you used to try and burn a disc and it's output.
