The problem is that cdrecord is a pig, IMO. It defaults to SCSI and your drive is ATAPI, like most. Try: cdrecord 'dev=atapi:' -scanbus
Then you will see the a,b,c numbers and can add those to your dev line for the burn command.
I tried this but I got: # cdrecord 'dev=atapi:' -scanbus scsidev: 'atapi:' devname: 'atapi' scsibus: -1 target: -1 lun: -1 Warning: Open by 'devname' is unintentional and not supported. cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open 'atapi'. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'. cdrecord: cdrecord: For more information, install the cdrtools-doc cdrecord: package and read /usr/share/doc/cdrecord/README.ATAPI.setup .
I've been having a read around; do I need to:
# modprobe ide-scsi
