If your device is as /dev/sr0.. you can use it to burn cds as well, my
cd-writer is /dev/sr0 and i can burn cd's...
If you are sure that ide-scsi module is loaded, and that the line in
"lilo.conf" is correct (hdc=ide-scsi), check the cdrecord -scanbus, that
will show to you if you have your cd-writer installed. If so, try to use
gtoaster as your burn software, must remind you, that if you are trying
to burn cd's with a normal user, its normal that you can't burn
anything, try first with root.
