This thread is a blast from the past, 2.6.* kernels in IDE burner land. 
Let me restate this, I have NEVER had a problem burning with ANY IDE 
burner in 2.6 land EXCEPT the dreaded 2.6.8 kernel and even then it was 
only a permission problem with K3B needed to run as root. No ide-scsi 
emulation is needed in 2.6 land so just take it out whereever you might 
have it loading, if you do. In 2.6 land this has been from Fedora Core 2 
to now Core 4. As everyone has been saying, start from the basics, 
command line, if it doesn't work there, it doesn't matter what app 
gui/frontend your using. First question would be is, what kernel are you 
using?
