Debian and cdrecord under >2.6.8

[JJ Neff]

It appears to be the IDE drives under 2.6 that are the problem.  Jorg Schilling
hates them (the interface) and is not shy about saying so.  If everything is
SCSI there appear to be ~0 problems - it's only trying to use ATAPI interface
in 2.6 that causes cdrecord to barf.  Oh well going back to 2.4 tonight - I got
stuck trying to flash my Drive last night (the raincoat was tied too tight - I
know random:-)
