Because when I received this error while setting up my burner I went back through the kernel config and noticed that I had not turned on SCSI emulation. I had everything setup in the scsi portion but in the ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support menu there is a submenu IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices, in that submenu you will see SCSI emulation support. Make sure that it is enabled. Also make sure you have your CD-RW drive (and any hard drives you want to do this with) mapped to SC* in the dev list. Usually CDROM is linked to a device (in your case it is probably /dev/hdb or something like that.) Make sure that that when you are done it says /dev/sc0 or whatever scsi device you want to map the CD-RW drive to. Not sure if this was suggested already so sorry if you tried this but school has begun and time is short again. Craig S.
