First, if you're using Lilo, remove append="hdX=ide-scsi" from your 
lilo.conf file and run the lilo command.  Reboot!

If you're using Grub, remove the equivalent from menu.lst and then reset 
grub.  Reboot!

The 2.6.X kernels don't use scsi emulation for ide drives, and it causes 
a conflict.  I usually use cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc whatever.iso or the 
equivalent.  Cdrecord claims not to support calling a device by name but 
it works for me here.  This was relatively well known when 2.6.X kernels 
came out, guess Google got overwhelmed.  Still, it's no real biggie.
