Did you compile ide-scsi support ? If not, append a hdx=ide-scsi to your append= line in lilo.conf, where hdx is you CDRW drive. Then 'modprobe ide-scsi sr_mod sg' and in the end 'cdrecord -scanbus'. This should work. There is no problem if some of them are compiled as modules or into the kernel. It is important that you boot with hdx=ide-scsi and that you have support for scsi, ide-scsi, scsi cdrom (sr_mod) and scsi generic (sg). There was another thread on ATAPI CDRW a few days ago. Search the archives for details.
