How to get cdrecord working in FC2?

[VJ]

Thanks Clint, but I know about the root issue with kernel 2.6.8. I am able
to use K3b without ANY problem. It is cdrecord which seems to be the
problem. May be it has not been modified to work with kernel 2.6 (in old
kernel it needed ide-scsi module bit not any longer in 2.6).

Thanks and regards from
VJ
