[nflug] cdrecord woes

[Josh Johnson]

I've been having the same problem since 2.6. But I burn so few and far 
between that I just boot into my old 2.4 kernel to do it. But as of recent 
I've had other problems with 2.4 because the rest of my system has been 
moving further away from it. So its time to buckle down and figure this 
out. My understanding has been that in 2.4 you needed the SCSI emulation 
for cdrecord because it didn't use ATAPI transport. Now with 2.6 you 
don't need it. I had the scsi-emu 
drivers built as modules and I figured that simply not loading them would 
be good enough. But maybe it has to be taken out all together. I could 
very definitely 
be wrong about this, but I'm going to get around to it in the near future. 
To answer your other question: cdrdao works fine for me in 2.6. But its 
ways are so weird (you have to make a xml file for it) that I only use it 
to burn isos and vcds.
