So you have IDE-SCSI compiled in or modularized?  Looking at your module
list, there's no CD-ROM driver and you say you have SCSI ooptions
modularized.  Did you compile IDE-CD or SCSI-CD into the kernel?  Hopefully
not, so all you'll need to do is "modprobe sr_mod" (I think) for the CD
drive to show up (as /dev/sr0 or /dev/scd0, whichever).  You'll also want to
"rmmod ide-cd" if it shows up in a lsmod.

*I* don't see any problems, but I'm not the oficial list kernel hacker...

Should be OK as root, I'd guess no permission problems unless you're getting
the error as a user and not as root...  I imagine you guessed as much,
however. :)  /dev/sg0 and /dev/sr0 (AKA /edev/scd0) should both be
writeable, I think, by the user wanting to burn.
