It's likely to be a sick drive. You can run cdrecord with the -atip or 
-prcap options and see what you are told.

That copy of cdrecord is *very* old, have you upgraded since you did the 
install? Is that really what is the latest in FC6, I thought they were 
using Wodim (a hacked version) 1.0.6. That's what FC7 uses.

It is most likely to be a drive issue, though, does dmesg say anything 
enlightening about the drive?
