Here is another idea. If you have an ATAPI burner and your version is
using ide-scsi, upgrade to where you can use a straight ide module to
read and write. Here is why. Although is is certainly possible to get
ide-scsi working it is not possible to do so in a way that is portable,
consistent with the way that other modules work, does not involve
counterintuitive interactions with the boot loader and is free from
disturbing side effects. You don't want to waste valuable mental
capacity on learning the details of an approach that the developers
have abandoned as an ugly kludge, especially in light of the fact that
current versions of most distributions just work.
